Today in Parliament (25th June 2009)
Angus Robertson (Moray)(SNP);
It has emerged that the now Defence Secretary told me and families of the 14 men who died aboard RAF Nimrod XV230 that the aircraft had been made safe despite being warned it was impossible to be sure this was true. We were repeatedly told that the defence consultants QinetiQ agreed the aircraft was safe to fly, despite "no statement can, or has been made" to this effect.
Can we have a debate in government time to learn which version is correct?
