Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.
Coroners and Justice Bill
I understand the right hon. Lady's concerns and this is an inherently difficult issue, but let me say that it is nothing to do with political correctness. To say that is to trivialise this difficult issue. She chose the example—I did not—and in that case no charge of murder would lie and, if there were a charge and that was the totality of the evidence, it would not go to the jury.
