Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 2 November 2018 to Question 185063 on armed forces: coroners, what the timetable is for the consultation on whether to publish those protocols; and if his Department will publish the pre-Section 104 Order protocols between the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Defence, the Scottish Government and the Chief Coroner on dealing with military deaths in Scotland separately.

I refer the hon. Member to my previous answer on this issue as the consultation on publication has not yet taken place. I will write to the hon. Member once that consultation has taken place.
