Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.

Coroners and Justice Bill

I am grateful for the hon. and learned Gentleman's recognition that there is a problem, and that the parallel with criminal trials is not really accurate. Since he accepts that there may be circumstances in which evidence would have to be kept from a coroner's jury, which is at the heart of these proposals, we are ready to consider any constructive suggestions that he or other colleagues make to us.
