HC Deb 06 July 1938 vol 338 c398W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give any information in connection with the girl killed by falling masonry at Newport, Monmouthshire, on Friday last, from the Savoy Buildings which are being demolished; and if the road and footpaths were protected?

Sir S. Hoare

I understand that some masonry fell and fatally injured a girl passing along the public footway. The inquest, which was opened on Saturday, has been adjourned until the 18th of this month.
