To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his oral answer of 15 January,Official Report, columns 391–92, and the letter from Dr. Jim Swire, spokesman of UK Family-Flight 103, dated 22 January, what considerations led him to conclude that a fatal accident inquiry was a suitable substitute for a public inquiry into the destruction of PA103.

The fatal accident inquiry was a detailed examination of the circumstances of the deaths. It was held entirely in public.
