Proceeding contribution from Lord Tunnicliffe (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.

Coroners and Justice Bill

My Lords, it is the view of Her Majesty’s Government that once an anomaly, which may have some substance, in the law comes to their attention, it should be addressed at the earliest opportunity. This is the earliest opportunity since the anomaly was seen to make this very limited correction in the jurisdictional character of the Bill. We are in no way seeking to enforce that widely drawn power, and we acknowledge that it will have to be addressed after the Law Commission publishes its report.
