To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when the Section 104 Order covering fatal accident inquiry military deaths will come into force.
This question was answered on 26th May 2016
The Section 104 Order aims to make a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) mandatory for any Service personnel who are killed in the course of their duties in Scotland. This provision will bring Scotland in line with the equivalent position in England and Wales. The Order is scheduled to be made in December 2016 subject to agreement from both UK and Scottish Ministers.
