Former Defence Secretary Sir Liam Fox is calling for a new inquiry into the 1994 Chinook disaster that killed 29 people. In statements reported by multiple outlets, Fox says he has “deep concerns” that “vital information may have been withheld from ministers and Parliament” during the period when the Ministry of Defence (MoD) investigated the crash. Fox also suggests he may have been misled by MoD officials in relation to that probe, and he is urging an inquiry to examine what ministers and Parliament were told at the time. The reporting characterizes Fox’s position as questioning the completeness of the information provided to government and lawmakers, rather than contesting the fact of the disaster itself. Both sources frame Fox’s request as focused on the accuracy and transparency of official communications during the original investigation, and they do not cite any specific new evidence. The calls add renewed attention to the historical circumstances surrounding the 1994 crash and the government’s handling of information connected to the investigation.
