Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.
Coroners and Justice Bill
Does the right hon. and learned Gentleman agree that the phrasing in amendment 94, where it says""the Secretary of State is satisfied"" is, in fact, a subjective test? If it said "beyond a reasonable doubt" or "reasonably satisfied", it would make it an objective test, which would make it harder. A judge looking at the certification could say, "Well the Secretary of State is satisfied—goodness knows why he was, but he was genuinely satisfied."
