Horatio Chinn

Horatio Chinn was a Conservative Party MP and Defence Minister working for the Ministry of Defense under the Secretary of State for Defence. He was visiting UNIT when Axos came to Earth. He was very impressed by the Axonite, and saw all the possibilities for Great Britain if they got a monopoly of it. He was very by-the-book and insistent that all UNIT proceedings were properly documented. He was shunned by Bill Filer who labelled him a security risk. The UN made sure that he did not get his wish for Axonite as a solely British product. He was forced to organise its worldwide distribution. He managed to escape the nuclear power plant with the remaining UNIT survivors when it exploded. (TV: The Claws of Axos)


 * What became of Chinn afterwards is debatable. In the novelisation, Chinn took the credit for the defeat of Axos. But in PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy, it is mentioned that he took the brunt of the Secretary's disappointment over the Axon debacle.


 * Chinn's first name was not given on-screen, only in the novels.
