Chinook Helicopters: Accidents
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make it his policy to assess the potential merits of reviewing the classification of documents on the Mull of Kintyre Chinook crash in 1994 within this parliamentary term.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
The Mull of Kintyre crash was a tragic accident, and our thoughts and sympathies remain with the families, friends and colleagues of all those who died.
As part of Ministry of Defence’s business as usual activity to renew the Retention Instrument associated with these closed records held at The National Archives, an assessment of the potential merit of removing the 100-year closure status is due to take place in 2029.
