Coroners and Justice Bill

I am most grateful to the Minister. I am particularly grateful to him for clarifying on the record that this will be a person or organisation, and that they will be able to appeal to the Chief Coroner if they are not happy with a decision. It is completely understandable that there must be discretion in who is named—otherwise you could have a vexatious coroners’ court tour by a group that just wanted to agitate rather than being bona fide people interested and concerned about the circumstances of a death. Accepting the Minister’s assurance, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 142 withdrawn.
