Schedule 1
Coroners and Justice Bill

Jennifer Willott (Cardiff Central, Liberal Democrat)
I am grateful for the Minister’s comments. However, despite the general obligation on coroners, under section 6 of the Human Rights Act, to act in a certain way regarding narrative verdicts on article 2 deaths, earlier clauses in the Bill recognise that sometimes it is necessary to make it clear that those obligations remain. It strikes me that in the matter before us it would be sensible to make it extremely clear that the presumption is to resume the inquest. However, at this point, I do not wish to press the matter any further. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
