Milestones

Introduce compensation for veterans, their families and inhabitants affected by 1950s bomb tests, including the H-bomb, on Christmas Island. Some veterans of weapons tests from other countries have been compensated. But the UK government has not introduced compensation for veterans of British tests.

I believe the Government should give deserved justice to the veterans and families of those affected.
