asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will set up an inquiry into the causes of the fire at the hostel in Salisbury Road, Kilburn, in order to identify in particular whether any furniture containing polyurethane foam was involved.

I understand that the fire authority will be submitting a full report on the Salisbury Road fire, which I shall then make available to other Ministers, including my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade, for such further action or inquiry as they may consider appropriate.
