HC Deb 03 April 1990 vol 170 c550W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to make all police and Government reports and associated papers available to the coroner's inquest into the deaths of those aboard the Marchioness.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The Secretary of State does not have power to direct the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis or other Government Departments to disclose reports to a coroner's inquest, but in this particular case I am not aware that the coroner is experiencing any difficulties in obtaining the information that he needs.
