A Moulton couple are celebrating a campaign’s progress to get justice for nuclear test veterans and their families.

Douglas Hern went to London to meet Veterans’ Minister Kevan Jones to discuss health problems suffered by descendants of people exposed to radiation during nuclear weapons tests in the 1950s and 1960s……………………..He and fellow members of the British Nuclear Test Veterans’ Association (BNTVA) want the Government to help with a scientific study into the problem, which has left several generations with diseases linked to exposure to radiation.

Mr Hern and his wife Sandie, of Bell Lane, have received details of many veterans who have suffered over the years.

Mr Hern’s daughter died of a rare form of cancer when she was just 13.
