Proceeding contribution from Lady Hermon (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Mull of Kintyre Review.
Mull of Kintyre Review
The Chinook helicopter crash in the Mull of Kintyre in 1994 was, as the Secretary of State said in his statement, one of the worst in the history of the Royal Air Force. Of course, it was also the worst accident in the history of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, with 10 of its noble officers being killed. May I take this opportunity to say to the Secretary of State, his colleagues and the House that the widows of those RUC officers will be absolutely delighted and hugely relieved that the terrible stigma of gross negligence is today lifted from those two brave and courageous young pilots?
