§ MR. ANDERSONasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If, he will consult with the Law Officers of the Crown as to applying to the Gosport Coroner's Jury on the "Mistletoe" disaster the precedent that has just been successfully adopted in the Balham case, and move for a writ ad melius inquirendum, so as to institute a complete inquiry under a new Commission?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, he thought the hon. Member would see on reflection that there was no analogy between the two cases. In the case of the Balham inquiry the Court had quashed the inquisition and ordered the coroner to hold a second inquiry into the circumstances of the case; whereas in the case of the Mistletoe a second inquiry had already been held by another Court.
