Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.


Defence

Indeed so. It seems to me a bit unfortunate that the informed views of Boscombe Down should be dismissed in the way that some later commentators within the Ministry of Defence have dismissed them. Suggestions that the software was positively dangerous, which have come out since that date, are not suggestions that I rely on as being true. I simply rely on those suggestions as giving rise to doubt, and only in those cases where there is no absolutely no doubt whatever can deceased air crew be found negligent.
