HC Deb 25 November 1908 vol 197 c394
MR. J. MACVEAGH

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that, at an inquest held at the coroner's Court of St. Giles's, London, on the 21st inst., the coroner's officer refused to admit the representatives of three news agencies and numerous daily papers, whilst admitting two journalists; whether he is aware that a written protest handed to the coroner's officer was not delivered to the coroner, and will he say what notice has been taken of the incident; and what steps has been or will be taken, by legislation or otherwise, to prevent its repetition in that or any other coroner's court.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. GLADSTONE,) Leeds, W.

I am making inquiry, but have not yet received the coroner's report.
