That is a very interesting question. I do not think that there is any reason why it should not be transcribed, but in my experience, many coroners’ inquests are not transcribed. I can see the hon. Member for Meirionnydd Nant Conwy nodding from a sedentary position. I do not remember any transcript being available at the last inquest that I did. We were completely dependent on the notebooks of the counsel and coroner to tell us what was said. In the inquest into the death of the Princess of Wales, I rather suspect that there was a transcript available. In fact, I would be very surprised if there were not.
