Clause 4
11:45 am
Jennifer Willott (Cardiff Central, Liberal Democrat)
I have a quick question for the Minister about the clause. My question specifically relates to subsection (4), which calls on the coroner to provide a written explanation, if requested, of why the inquest has been discontinued. Clearly, giving an explanation is to be welcomed, but I want to ensure that, as with all Government missives, any written explanations are cleared through a plain English directive, because some Government letters are easier to understand than others. In a circumstance such as this, clearly it needs to be easy for the family to understand. I would also be grateful if the Minister were to clarify whether there will be the opportunity for the interested person to raise any questions or to get further clarification, if they do not understand all the issues highlighted by the coroner. Clearly, making people happy and ensuring that their fears and concerns have been laid to rest is important.
