No win no fee solicitors take veterans' claim to MOD

Ex-servicemen used as human guinea pigs by the Ministry of Defence in experiments are set to claim millions of pounds in compensation though no win, no fee solicitors.

Veterans used in experiments between the 1940s and the 1980s at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, Porton Down, are seeking personal injury compensation.

The group used for military research claim they were unaware that they were being subjected to chemical warfare agents.

They have since been in contact with no win, no fee solicitors who say that if the MOD does not come up with an out-of-court settlement in two months, the case will be taken to court on a no win, no fee basis.
