A-test veterans can sue
Around 1,000 British servicemen who took part in atomic tests in the 1950s won the right to sue the government on Friday for health problems they blame on nuclear radiation.
The veterans, who are seeking to launch a multi-million pound group compensation claim, took part in British nuclear tests in Australia and the Pacific Ocean.
