I thank the Minister for saying he will consider the issue I have raised. I am not suggesting that a multiplicity of family members should be represented, far from it. What I am trying to do is pre-empt a situation where coroners are faced with a multiplicity of requests. It is sensible that one application would be granted but how the coroners decides is the question. In most cases, presumably an agreed family member would come forward to make the application but where there is a conflict, tension or a dispute there may be problems that we need to anticipate in the legislation.
