Clause 9 - Coroners
Human Tissue Bill
4:45 pm
Mr Andrew Lansley (South Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
Just to be sure, am I right in thinking that if a coroner were to give his consent for something to be done that was not necessary for his legitimate purposes, or beyond the point where he had a legitimate function in relation to a body, the fact that he gave authority would be ultra vires and the coroner himself would be subject to liability and prosecution under the Act?
