§ MR. COBB (Warwick, S.E., Rugby)I beg to ask the Home Secretary a question of which I have given him private notice, and which I hope he will be able to answer at once. It is, whether it is true, as stated in the London Press, that a Coroner's inquiry was held into the circumstances attending the death of the late Duke of Bedford; whether it is the custom in these cases to give notice to the police of the holding of such inquiry if it was done in this case; whether the right hon. Gentleman will obtain full information of the Coroner of this case being treated different from any other case; and as to the secret nature of the inquiry?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS, Birmingham, E.)I must ask the hon. Gentleman, if he desires an accurate answer, to be good enough to postpone this question until to-morrow. I have only just reached town.
