"More than 600 ex-servicemen have now been contacted by the government, out of about 4,300 believed to have been involved."
"Mr Thompson said there might have been up to 113 Shad tests, and he was alarmed by what he had learned."
"'But when we get to individual reports, we do not see things like informed consent or individual protection. We don't have the records for what, if any, protection was given to people.'"
