	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2021 answer text <p>Section 13 of the Coroners Act 1988 permits an application to be made to the High Court for either an order for a fresh inquest into a death, or an order to hold an inquest if one has not already been held. An application under section 13 cannot be brought unless the Attorney General’s authority – referred to as her ‘fiat’ – has been obtained. Once the Attorney General has granted or refused her fiat, the Attorney General’s Office does not usually have any further role in the process.</p><p> </p><p>An applicant has six weeks from the grant of the Attorney General’s fiat to make an application to the High Court. The High Court will then decide whether to order an investigation to be carried out in accordance with Part 1 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009.</p><p> </p><p>Neither the Attorney General’s Office nor the Ministry of Justice hold data on how long it takes between the Attorney’s fiat being granted and the High Court disposing of an application made under section 13.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 23/11/2021 10:33:04 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

It is important that Sir Robert Francis QC, the independent reviewer, is able to complete his work as quickly as thoroughness allows.</p><p><strong><br></strong>At the outset of the Infected Blood Inquiry, the then Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster decided that it was overwhelmingly in the public interest that legal representation for infected and affected core participants in the inquiry should be funded by Government, and without means testing. This funding will continue until the conclusion of the Inquiry. However, this study is quite separate from the Inquiry. Sir Robert will want to hear directly from infected and affected people and put them at the heart of the process. Legal representation will not be required in order to put forward views.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 07/06/2021 12:12:30 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
