Chinook Helicopters: Accidents
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to establish an independent judge-led review into the Ministry of Defence’s handling of the circumstances surrounding the 1994 Mull of Kintyre Chinook crash.
- Answer
-
The Chinook Justice Campaign have submitted a formal claim to the Ministry of Defence for a Judicial Review of our decision to reject the demand for an independent judge-led inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
This process is ongoing and our focus is on responding to that claim and supporting the delivery of an outcome to this independent process.Our thoughts and sympathies remain with the families, friends, and colleagues of all those who died in the Mull of Kintyre crash.
