§ MR. ANDERSONasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, seeing that there are in Scotland no coroners' inquests, he has arranged or would arrange for an inquiry into the causes of the very disastrous boiler ex- 557 plosion in Glasgow last Friday night; and particularly as to whether the boiler in question was insured, and, therefore, subject to regular inspection?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS,in reply, said, that if the accident had happened in England, he should have sent someone down to attend the inquest and report on the case to the Home Office; but as it was in Scotland, he would put himself in communication with the Lord Advocate on the subject.
