Response to the Joint Statement by the BNTVA and the NCCF

On 22 November 2021, Tony Jeffrey, Chairman of the NCCF, sent the attached Joint Statement to Prime Minister Boris Johnson on behalf of the BNTVA and NCCF.

Both charities are pleased to report that the Prime Minister personally responded to Tony with the following,

"Dear Tony,

Thank you for your letter of 22 November, enclosing a joint statement from the British Nuclear Test Veterans Association and the Nuclear Community Charity.

I would also like to thank you for your kind words of support. The Government is extremely grateful to all who participated in the nuclear testing programme. I want to be clear that their contribution will not be forgotten.

Due to the importance of the issue, I have asked the Ministry of Defence to take this forward.

Thank you, once again, for writing to me on this important matter.

Best wishes,

Boris Johnson."

We have been in touch with the Secretary of State for Defence about this matter and the imminent release of the research study results. We will inform our members as and when we hear more.
