HC Deb 08 February 1990 vol 166 c742W

Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement about the progress of the inquiry into the cause of the fire at the Stephens inquiry team office.

I understand that the forensic scientists have now concluded their investigation and have reported that the most probable cause of the fire was an accident.
