Works Explosion

Mr. Parkinson
asked the Home Secretary whether he will have an inquiry made into the cause of the explosion at a works in the North of England, in which one life was lost; and whether he will publish the result of such inquiry?

Sir J. Anderson
An examination is being made into this unfortunate accident, and when it has been completed I will consider what further action to take. I understand that one man was killed and that the inquest is to be held on 10th instant.
