§ Mr. Viantasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why no inquest was held on Beatrice Cook of Dagenham, a member. of the A.T.S., who died at Southend-on-Sea from anaphylactic shock caused by an injection of anti-typhoid vaccine, seeing that this death could not be considered as due to natural causes as the girl was healthy when the injection was made.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI have no information about the death to which my hon. Friend refers, but the question wheher a coroner should hold an inquest concerning a death which is reported to him is one for the coroner to decide on the information furnished to or ascertained by him. I have no authority to give a ruling, nor would it be proper for me to express an opinion as to this or any other particular case.
