Inmarsat gave Malaysia authorities new MH370 data 'weeks ago'

The Malaysian government has released the raw data used to determine that the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.

The data was first released to relatives of passengers, who have been asking for greater transparency, before copies were also provided to the media.

Chris McLaughlin, who is senior vice-president of external communications at Inmarsat, told the BBC's Richard Westcott that the data had been released to the investigation "some weeks ago".
