Proceeding contribution from Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.

Coroners and Justice Bill

I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. What is his position? Is he saying that the proposed new test is stricter or less strict than the present test? Which is it? The noble and learned Lord, Lord Woolf, seems to think that it may be less strict; others—among whom I include myself—think that it will clearly be more strict. What is the Government’s view?
