A Bill to require the Secretary of State to publish proposals for a compensation scheme for veterans who have experienced ill health as a result of exposure to radiation while on active service.
House of Commons
12 February 2025
The Nuclear Veterans (Compensation) Bill would require the Secretary of State to publish proposals for a compensation scheme for veterans who have become ill because of exposure to radiation during active service. It does not create payments or a scheme itself, but sets out a process for developing one for Parliament to consider.
The bill is at the second reading in the Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage and later readings, potentially becoming law.
