HC Deb 09 August 1887 vol 318 c1726
SIR ROBERT FOWLER (London)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether Her Majesty's Government will consider the question of inquests being held in the case of fires, with a view to legislation next Session?

THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

This subject has been mooted in Parliament on various occasions. All I can say is that it will receive the consideration of the Government; but many different opinions prevail upon it.
