Chinook Helicopters: Accidents

Asked by Tessa MuntLiberal DemocratDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 15 June 2026UIN 7400

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department (a) currently holds and (b) previously held any documentation relating to the Chinook ZD576 which crashed on 2 June 1994.

Answered by Andrew Western

The Department for Work and Pensions have conducted an extensive search of The National Archive’s search engine, Discovery, and their own records and have been unable to locate any records relating to Chinook ZD576.

Our thoughts and sympathies remain with the families, friends, and colleagues of all those who died in the Mull of Kintyre crash.
