Truth about UK nuclear veterans 'covered up', says Andy Burnham
Published: 6/25/2025

Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, accuses UK government of covering up the health impacts on British nuclear veterans from bomb tests in the 1950s and 60s. Veterans claim severe health issues due to exposure, like cancers and birth defects, and demand access to their medical records. The Ministry of Defence denies concealing information but promises to investigate veterans' medical tests, as survivors allege a "criminal cover-up" by the government.
