Group action over Porton Down experiments
Around 350 former servicemen who participated in experiments at the Ministry of Defence’s Chemical Defence Establishment at
Porton Down, Wiltshire, from the 1940s-1980s have instructed law firms Leigh Day & Co and Thomson Snell & Passmore to seek
compensation on their behalf from the MoD for the injuries they sustained as a result of the experiments.
