Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to establish a public inquiry into the Birmingham pub bombings.

The attacks on the Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town public houses were horrific events.

As we approach the 50^th anniversary I offer my deepest sympathy and condolences to all those affected.

The families of the victims of these attacks have long campaigned for justice to be done. The Home Secretary and I will consider requests for an inquiry as soon as possible.
