§ MR. BURT (Morpeth)I beg to ask the Home Secretary a question of which I have given him private notice. It is whether he is able to state what steps have been taken to ensure a complete inquiry into the terrible explosion which has recently taken place in Monmouthshire?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS, Birmingham, E.)I have appointed distinguished counsel to attend the inquest on behalf of the Home Office, and also two Chief Inspectors to attend and give any assistance they can to the Coroner; and I have no doubt there will be a full investigation into all the circumstances attending this calamity.
