Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) 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

The Lord Chancellor and I may have to disagree on that point, but I believe that the decision about whether to suspend the inquest is different from the decision about whether to appoint a judge. The Lord Chancellor might take the view that the suspension is proper and the Lord Chief Justice might not agree, but he might none the less agree to the appointment of the judge if he feels that that is a broadly acceptable decision.
