A date has been set for the inquiry into the George Square bin lorry crash that claimed six lives.

Prosecutors announced a fatal accident inquiry (FAI) was ordered into the tragedy after the Crown examined the full police report and found no criminality.

A date has now been set for the inquiry, which will be held at Glasgow Sheriff Court on July 22 - exactly seven months on from the tragedy.

A statement from the Judiciary of Scotland said: "A date has been set for the FAI relating to the road traffic incident which resulted in the deaths of six people and left ten injured in Glasgow city centre on 22 December 2014.

"The FAI will commence on July 22 2015 before Sheriff Principal Craig A. L. Scott QC at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

"A preliminary hearing will take place on April 13.

"The families of those involved have been informed of these dates."

The Crown Office confirmed that neither the driver Harry Clarke nor Glasgow City Council will face prosecution.

The 58-year-old is understood to have fallen unconscious at the wheel.

Teacher Stephenie Tait, 29, from Glasgow, student Erin McQuade, 18, and her grandparents Lorraine, 69, and Jack Sweeney, 68, from Dumbarton, were all killed in the crash.

Tax worker Jacqueline Morton, 51, from Glasgow, and 52-year-old Gillian Ewing, from Edinburgh, also died.
