HC Deb 07 May 1981 vol 4 cc109-10W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Trade when he now expects to make a statement on the report of the inquiry into the crash of the Dan-Air Boeing 727 at Tenerife on 25 April 1980.

Mr. Eyre

The Spanish report on the accident to the Dan-Air Boeing 727 at Tenerife on 25 April 1980 has not yet been received in the United Kingdom. The Spanish authorities are fully aware of the great interest that exists in the United Kingdom concerning the accident and they are being continually pressed for an early release of their report. No statement can be made until such time as the report has been received in the United Kingdom, translated and studied.
