§ 12. Mr. Thorneasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the cause of the accident in Buchanan Street, Glasgow, on Tuesday last, where three people were injured?
§ Mr. ElliotI am informed that the accident referred to was due to the collapse of a scaffold and that two of the three persons injured have died. A public inquiry in regard to the cause of the deaths and the circumstances of the accident will fall to be held, and I cannot therefore make any further statement.
