§ 47. Mr. Torneyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give consideration to holding an independent public inquiry into the death of Mrs. Joan Lee, a constituent of the hon. Member for Bradford, South at Chapel Allerton Hospital, Leeds, during 1976, particularly in the light of recent information about this case.
§ Mr. MoyleNo. I do not think that such an inquiry would serve any useful purpose, in view of the extensive inquiries into the surrounding circumstances already held and the possibility of legal proceedings.
