Changing the Law

Dear All,

Following interest from a number of Lords, I have put together a Briefing Document arguing the case that s.7 of the Coroenrs and Justice Bill should be amended to ensure that all inquests into deaths of people in custody and state detention (including mental health patients) should automatically be heard before a jury.

Please feel free to use this in your own lobbying of the Lords too. The next reading of the Bill is due to take place in the Lords next Monday (18th May) and it would be fantastic if we could get an amendment proposed by then.

The briefing document can be found online here - Lords Briefing. (Click on the picture of the document, and on the next page choose 'download' where you can choose which type of document you want). Please let me know if you have any successes - as always, my email address is steven.allen -at- gmail.com.

Many kind wishes for you continuing support of this campaign.

Steven
