Mr. Amos

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give the reasons for his conclusion that the public interest would not be served by an inquest into the case involving the abortion which took place at the City general infirmary, Carlisle, in July 1987; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

This conclusion was reached after careful consideration of all the information provided by the coroner.
