The Ministry of Justice does not collate or hold statistics on the number of military inquests where sensitive information has been centrally relevant, or where some form of closed procedure might have assisted in the investigation into the death. However, in the overwhelming majority of cases coroners have managed, through close engagement with bereaved service families, to handle some very sensitive information in an agreed way that has minimised, if not altogether removed, the need to restrict access to information, whether by the use of public interest immunity or otherwise. Key parties to the information have stayed informed and involved. |
