CHINOOK ZD 576

Early day motion 829, tabled 7 February 2002 by Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party). Signed by 170 members.

That this House notes the House of Lords Select Committee Report on Chinook ZD 576, which concludes that: 'the Air Marshals were not justified in finding that negligence on the part of the pilots of ZD 576 caused the crash' in the Mull of Kintyre on 2nd June 1994; and calls on the Government to quash the finding of the Air Marshals who reviewed the conclusions of the RAF Board of Inquiry, which unjustly and on the basis of insufficient evidence ascribed negligence to the deceased pilots, flight lieutenants Jonathan Tapper and Richard Cook.

Signatures by party: Labour 70, Conservative 45, Liberal Democrat 33, DUP 5, Labour/Co-operative 5, Plaid Cymru 4, UUP 4, Scottish National Party 3, Independent 1.
