Inquiry After Bomb Tests
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Aug. 18. The New Zealand Embassy in Paris has completed its urgent inquiry Into allegations that Pacific Islanders who worked at French atom bomb sites in the Pacific were becoming ill. The Prime Minister (Mr Holyoake) said in Parliament that the Embassy inquiry “tended to suggest that the allegations cannot be substantiated.”
He was replying to a question from Mr J. L. Hunt (Lab., New Lynn) about a claim from a Frenchman from Raiatea Island earlier this week that he had seen “really strong” Pacific Islanders becoming “really sick" when they worked on French atom bomb sites.
