Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [Lords].


Public Bodies Bill [Lords]

What has changed from when the Minister was in opposition, when he voted for the chief coroner and his party's Front-Benchers spoke in favour of it in Committee? The Minister spoke about cost and there is an issue about cost. Why has he not yet published what savings will be made by not having a chief coroner? If, as he recognises, certain functions have to be carried out in the Ministry of Justice, at what cost will those functions be carried out?
