HC Deb 26 November 1946 vol 430 cc264-5W
137. Mr. McKinlay

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will place in the Library of the House the evidence and findings of the military inquiry held into the fatal accident to prisoner of war Georg, or Kurt Mueller, B 145233, at the Sloy works on Loch Lomondside on 21st August, 1946.

Mr. Bellenger

No, Sir. It is not the practice, and would be contrary to the public interest to disclose the proceedings of courts of inquiry, which are privileged documents. I would remind my hon Friend that an inquiry was also held by the local authority under the Fatal Accidents Inquiry (Scotland) Act, 1895, as amended by the Fatal Accident and Sudden Death Inquiry (Scotland) Act of 1906, as a result of which a verdict of accidental death was returned.
