Response to the news that the Crown Office has concluded that a Fatal Accident Inquiry should be held into the deaths of Richard Dyson and Simon Midgley, who lost their lives in a fire at Cameron House Hotel in December 2017.

Scottish Labour deputy leader and MSP for Dumbarton, Jackie Baillie, said: 

“This is a welcome development and will come as a relief to the families involved.

“The Cameron House fire was one of the greatest tragedies I have had to deal with in my time as MSP for Dumbarton.

“Justice must be done for the families of Simon Midgley and Richard Dyson and all the facts of the case must be brought to light.

“We must ensure that lessons are learned from this tragic event and that such a catastrophe is not repeated.”
