The government has U-turned on a medal for survivors of Britain's nuclear tests following demands from Labour to end the 70-year scandal.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace told the Commons yesterday that he had ordered his officials to "review" the earlier decision by a discredited medal committee not to award a gong.
The move came just three hours after the Prime Minister's official spokesman brushed off calls for a national apology to mark the 70th anniversary of Britain's first bomb test later this year.
