Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) 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 hope I made it clear when I answered the first amendment that everyone—I do not think anyone demurs from this—has found this issue very difficult with far-reaching consequences. If this matter was simple, we would have resolved it a long time ago. It is not simple; it is complex and worrisome. That is why the Government have taken the view that we should take it one tranche at a time.
