Public Bodies Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Jon Trickett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Public Bodies Bill [Lords].
I will not take any more interventions because there are other people who wish to catch the Deputy Speaker's eye. The Government clearly want judicial review, but the problem is that it is a complex system. We will have the individual coroner's court, the chief coroner and then the intervention of the judiciary through judicial review. It is a complicated administrative and legal process. Families who are bereaved and who simply do not understand what happened to their loved one want an explanation and the matter to be brought to closure. A judicial review can take years before an issue is resolved and cost tens of thousands of pounds.
