HC Deb 23 March 1939 vol 345 c1449
54. Mr. Thorne

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give any information in connection with the lift accident at Du Cane Court, Balham, at which a 14-year-old page-boy was killed on Sunday last?

Mr. Loyd

This accident occurred in a block of flats where, I regret to say, the boy was found dead at the bottom of a lift shaft. The inquest has been fixed for Tuesday next, and my right hon. Friend does not think he can usefully give any further information at this stage.
