Clause 5
11:45 am

Tim Boswell (Daventry, Conservative)
Before my hon. Friend sits down, will he reflect on whether subsection (2) would require a senior coroner to take a view as to the applicability or otherwise of the convention rights before any investigation has taken place? That would require, with the greatest respect, a degree of legal expertise and interpretation, which might give rise to further litigation on whether those convention rights had been so considered.
