Proceeding contribution from Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Coroners and Justice Bill.

Coroners and Justice Bill

I am most grateful to the Minister. I am particularly grateful to him for clarifying on the record that this will be a person or organisation, and that they will be able to appeal to the Chief Coroner if they are not happy with a decision. It is completely understandable that there must be discretion in who is named—otherwise you could have a vexatious coroners’ court tour by a group that just wanted to agitate rather than being bona fide people interested and concerned about the circumstances of a death. Accepting the Minister’s assurance, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 142 withdrawn.
