asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has yet received the report of the Italian Government into the fire tragedy at Sappado in Italy in 1976 in which British schoolchildren were involved; and if he proposes to publish it.

I understand that the Italian Government as such are not preparing a report but the findings of the judicial inquiry into the fire tragedy at Sappada have been deposited with the Tribunale at Belluno, from whom copies are obtainable on demand. The Italian authorities have so informed the various interested parties. The British Government have taken steps to secure a copy.
