HC Deb 22 June 1939 vol 348 cc2460-1W
Major Leighton

asked the Home Secretary whether he will inquire into the cause of the delay of three days in convening an inquest on the late Mr. Thomas Downward, 11, Black Park, Whit church, Salop; is he aware that this delay gave unnecessary anxiety to the deceased's family; and that the burial certificate was only received two hours before the time fixed for the funeral?

Sir S. Hoare

I am causing inquiries to be made and will communicate with my hon. and gallant Friend when they are completed.
