Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.


Coroners and Justice Bill

I have said this about 15 times, but the Lord Chief Justice would not appoint that judge or any judge unless he were satisfied about the case for suspending the inquest. Why would he? He would have an absolute right to a veto under the amendment already agreed to in the other place.
