Coroners and Justice Bill

I understand the importance of the military inquests, particularly the case to which the hon. Gentleman refers—I happen to know one of the crew who was on that ill-fated flight. I can honestly say to him that I can provide him with almost complete reassurance because, as he will know, there has never been a jury involved in a military inquest. There have been more than 200 military inquests and the issue of juries has never arisen. It is hard to see in what circumstances it would arise.
