HC Deb 17 October 1973 vol 861 cc241-2W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will undertake a review of the function of coroners' courts and the limited range of verdicts which they can reach; and what action has been taken on the special report of the Brodrick Committee in relation thereto.

Mr. Peter Mills

The Government are still considering the report of the Committee on Death Certification and Coroners, which was limited to the law and practice in England and Wales. After consideration of this report, there will be a general review of the system in Northern Ireland.
