Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) 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

That is the inherent problem with data sharing—it increases the risks of things going wrong, not necessarily because of malice but by accident. My conclusion on those clauses is that, as drawn, they are outrageous. They should be withdrawn, thought about again and introduced in a separate Bill. In my view they alone, in their present state, justify rejecting the Bill. Let me now turn to the red rag—the provisions for secret inquests without juries.
