HC Deb 19 June 1902 vol 109 c1116
MR. TENNANT (Berwickshire)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he proposes that his Department should be represented at the inquest on the bodies of the victims of the fire in Queen Victoria Street.

Mr. RITCHIE

I have written to the coroner to say that, though the Home Office has no statutory locus standi in the case, the services of the factory inspector for the district are at his disposal if he desires his attendance at the inquest.
