Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.


Coroners and Justice Bill

As I understand it—I want to be very careful to answer the noble Lord as accurately as I can—the answer to his question is yes, they can do that. They have to be very careful not to frame any comment or decision that would name a particular person as being necessarily guilty of a criminal offence or liable for a civil suit.
