 House of Commons Hansard Debates for 7 Jun 2004 (pt 4)
The Lord Advocate, Colin Boyd, and the chair of the Health and Safety Commission, Bill Callaghan, agreed that there should be a joint investigation into the factory explosion in Glasgow on 11 May 2004, involving the Health and Safety Executive, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, and Strathclyde police.
