HC Deb 21 November 1985 vol 87 cc293-4W
Mr. Martin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in the light of the further confirmed cases of legionnaire's disease in Glasgow, he will now institute a public inquiry into the outbreak; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John MacKay

The environmental health department of Glasgow district council and the Greater Glasgow health board are already conducting a full investigation into the cases of legionnaire's disease at Roystonhill. The report of this investigation will be carefully studied, but on the information presently available I do not think that a public inquiry is called for.
