HC Deb 10 May 1994 vol 243 cc130-1W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the loss of the United Nations helicopters in Northern Iraq.

Mr. Hanley

The two United States helicopters shot down in northern Iraq on 14 April by United States FI5s are the subject of a United States investigation, in which the United Kingdom and other coalition partners are fully represented. The results of the investigation will be reported to Parliament as soon as possible and it would be inappropriate for my Department to attempt to make an assessment at this stage.
