An e mail to Michael Howard got an immediate response from his office which included the following:
"Now that the Prime Minister, the Defence Secretary and the Procurement Minister at the time have all accepted that there was a miscarriage of justice and called for the pilots to be cleared, we believe it is appropriate that the Ministry of Defence should give the pilots the benefit of the doubt and clear their names."
It doesn't say that he will allow support EDM 371 as requested though.
