HC Deb 18 December 1980 vol 996 cc254-5W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if the report on the crash of the Dan-Air Boeing 727 at Tenerife on 25 April has now been completed, or is nearing completion; when he now expects the report to be published; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tebbit

The Spanish report on the crash of the Dan-Air Boeing 727 at Tenerife has not yet been completed, but the Spanish authorities have indicated their intention of providing my Department with a draft of the final report by the end of December 1980. It would not be realistic to speculate about a publication date until the draft has been received. No further statement on this matter is contemplated at the present time.
