MPs call for oil companies to face helicopter safety inquiry
MPs have called for a public inquiry into whether commercial pressure from oil and gas companies affects offshore helicopter safety.
The Transport Select Committee also wants a full examination into the role of the Civil Aviation Authority.
The recommendations are contained in a report which follows the 2013 crash of a Super Puma helicopter near Sumburgh Airport in Shetland.
Chair of the Transport Select Committee, Louise Ellman MP, said serious issues needed to be addressed.
