Foreign Office Rebuked Over Harry Dunn Case in Damning Independent Review

The findings validate long-standing complaints from Harry Dunn’s family.

Overview

  • Dame Anne Owers’ report says the UK’s slow response lost chances to influence the US before Anne Sacoolas left the country.
  • Officials did not alert the foreign secretary until after Sacoolas had departed and made no direct contact with the Dunn family until October 4, 2019.
  • The review finds information was withheld from relatives as the US flew Sacoolas home 19 days after the collision near RAF Croughton.
  • Harry Dunn’s mother says the report offers some comfort after years of feeling abandoned, while his father says he may never trust the Government again.
  • The inquiry was commissioned by former foreign secretary David Lammy to examine both the response to the crash and support for the family.
