Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Counter-Terrorism Bill.

Counter-Terrorism Bill

I am listening carefully to the Minister. He will appreciate that our concern is rather limited because coroners' courts have limited jurisdiction for Scots, especially in the military. The Minister appears to be saying that information can be disclosed to the judge, the jury or a special prosecutor with security clearance, but what if the information is a material factor in the person's death? Can that be disclosed in the coroner's judgment, or will that part of the judgment also have to be kept in camera?
