HC Deb 05 April 1990 vol 170 c831W
Mr. Boyes

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the date, location and circumstances of the crash of a Sea Harrier aircraft aboard the aircraft carrier Ark Royal during February; what injuries were sustained by the pilot; what was the tail number of the aircraft; and what lessons have been learnt from the series of Sea Harrier accidents in the past year.

Mr. Neubert

I refer the hon. Member to my reply on 9 February 1990, at column816. There was no such crash. All accidents which occurred during 1989 remain under official investigation.
