Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now agree that the costs of the inquiry and inquest into the death of Jimmy Kelly by the action committee be borne out of public funds.

No: there is no authority for any such costs incurred by the action committee to be met from public funds.
