Written Question
Coroners
Tuesday 23rd June 2020

Asked by: Lord Leigh of Hurley (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many deceased persons are currently being held by coroners in England awaiting registration of death.

Answered by Lord Keen of Elie - Shadow Minister (Justice)

The Ministry of Justice collects statistics on deaths reported to coroners on an annual basis but does not have details of deaths that are under investigation. The Office of National Statistics publishes the number of registered deaths but does not distinguish between deaths referred to coroners and other deaths so it is not possible to determine the average waiting time.
