HC Deb 13 July 1979 vol 970 cc311-2W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the sub-committee of the Central Fire Brigades Advisory Councils for England and Wales and for Scotland, which has been charged to conduct a full investigation into all the circumstances of the fire at Woolworth's store in Piccadilly, Manchester, can be expected to report to him; and if the sub-committee's proceedings will be made fully available to hon. and right hon. Members who had constituents who were killed in the fire.

Mr. Whitelaw

The sub-committee will complete its investigation as soon as possible after the findings of the coroner's inquest are known. Depending on the need for any more formal inquiry, I shall consider how the results of the subcommittee's investigation might best be promulgated.
