Tony McNulty: You will know that there are a range of cases—I cannot talk in complete detail about them—that are pressing and extant and which need to be determined. Otherwise, as other colleagues have suggested, it would be more than appropriate to leave these provisions and others to a coroners reform Bill that colleagues tell me is likely to be forthcoming in the subsequent Session. The proposal is essentially for a range of pressing reasons, which is why it was introduced so late and why, regrettably, there was not appropriate consultation with the coroners and other interested groups.
