The government has confirmed it is considering a medal for Britain’s nuclear test veterans, as well as “all options” of wider national recognition.
It comes just a week after the Mirror took a group of campaigners to meet the Prime Minister in an historic meeting in Parliament - the first of its kind since Winston Churchill ordered the first atomic blast, 70 years ago.
And it seems he listened. Parliament has been told that the PM has already taken the issue away from a secretive Whitehall medal committee which we reported in April had been corrupted by meddling civil servants.
