Question to the Attorney General:

To ask His Majesty's Government when a decision will be made and communicated as to whether a fiat will be granted to enable an application to the High Court to reopen the inquest into the death of Julian ‘Jools’ Sweeney.

After careful consideration, the Solicitor General gave permission to Ellen Roome to make an application to the High Court for a fresh inquest into Jools' death. The Solicitor General believes there is a reasonable prospect the High Court will order one and wrote to Ellen Roome’s legal representative on the 13th of March to confirm this.
