HC Deb 01 April 1977 vol 929 c287W
Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will initiate immediately an inquiry into the death of Mehran Sarkeshik which recently took place at Millfield School.

Miss Margaret Jackson

No. My right hon. Friend has no power to initiate inquiries into incidents at independent schools. I understand that this particular incident has been thoroughly investigated by the school and that an inquest has already been held by the coroner.
