Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he plans to reform the coroner's court system.

The Government is committed to a swift inquest process with bereaved families at its heart. The Public Office (Accountability) Bill establishes important reform of the inquest system. It creates duties of candour; individual accountability; and ‘parity of arms’ for the bereaved including the widest expansion of legal aid in a generation.
