The ongoing inquest into the death of an airman who died in nerve gas tests in 1953 has been temporarily halted.
The hearing into the death of Ronald Maddison, who died aged 20 after being exposed to sarin, was halted after the emergence of a new document.
David Masters, Wiltshire Coroner, sent the jury home so lawyers could discuss the impact of the document.
The material has been released by the MoD, but its contents could not be publicly revealed, the coroner ruled.
Submissions before the jury were expected to continue on Tuesday.
