HC Deb 30 July 1984 vol 65 c71W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will ensure that in cases of all British citizens who die in Oman, and the remains are returned to the United Kingdom, an inquest is held.

Mr. Mellor

No. The statutory responsibility for the decision on the need for an inquest rests with the coroner whose attention has been drawn to the fact that a body is lying in his jurisdiction.
