Business of the House

Is my right hon. Friend aware that just before the election, the Procedure Committee produced a report on the sub judice rule and its application in this House in respect of matters before coroners' courts. Will he look at that report and find a way to introduce its recommendations, and does he agree that this is an important issue? For the past year, it has been impossible to ask questions about the death in custody of a Northamptonshire teenager. The coroner's court opened a hearing more than a year ago and adjourned it, but it has been unable to resume proceedings because the Crown Prosecution Service still has not reached a decision on charges. This is an important matter, on which it ought to be possible to ask questions and gain information.
