Coroners and Justice Bill
12:00 pm
Helen Shaw: No. We were thinking through our 20 years of working at inquests around a lot of contentious custody deaths and we could not think of any examples. We know that this clause has arisen because of two particular cases and there are very particular issues that need to be addressed. We think that the clause is much too widely drawn and we hope that we can speak to the Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor to find a more sensible solution. The clause is a hugely wide proposal, which we think is not necessary. We hope that we can find something that is much more precise, that deals with the matters that arose in those two particular cases and that will refer to issues under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
