Chinook crash

It's important that Conservative Central Office has confirmed to us that a review of Chinook evidence is party policy.

Various Tory MPs have said in the past that they'll have a review if they win power. But things could be different if they get into office and realise that a review would put them in opposition to the MoD. It would probably be easy for the party to avoid having a review saying it wasn't in the manifesto; and it would be difficult for the media to hold the Tories to a review on the basis of ad hoc comments made by individual MPs.

A commitment to a review from Central Office will be difficult to back away from.
