§ Captain ERSKINE-BOLSTasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of recent criminal discoveries, lie will consider the introduction of legislation making it possible to arrange for special inquiries to be held into all outbreaks of fire where the circumstances of the case appear to render inquiry essential?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI hope that, when a suitable opportunity occurs, it will be possible to make further provision for the holding of fire inquiries in suitable cases as part of a Measure dealing with various fire problems, but I regret that I can see no prospect of such legislation in the near future.
