We are grateful to all those who participated in the British nuclear testing programme which played a valuable role towards developing a nuclear deterrent that has ultimately kept Britain safe for decades. We take our obligations to our personnel extremely seriously and ministers are always open to discussing whether we can do more.

My Office is in discussions to arrange a mutually convenient time to meet representatives of the nuclear testing veterans.
