Coroners and Justice Bill

I thank all noble Lords who have taken part in this short debate and I also thank the Minister. Linked with Amendments 46 and 48 is Amendment 47, which we discussed briefly on day one. My concern about these amendments is based on experience. Ten years ago, I published a report called Suicide is Everyone’s Concern looking at the way that the Prison Service was able to prevent suicides in prison. What concerned me was that year on year the same mistakes were made in different prisons all over the country because it appeared that the lessons learnt were not being spread throughout the system. It may be that different coronial areas will have different experiences and therefore different things to report, but hidden in them will be lessons that others can learn, which is the why the word "analysis" seems to be so important in the coroner looking at all the evidence in front of him. I accept that, as the Minister said, there is now "must" and not "may". I will therefore consider what has been said today and on day one. Amendment 42 agreed.
