Fatalities (Investigations) (PE1567)
Agenda item 2 concerns petition PE1567. The Public Petitions Committee last week referred the petition to this committee for consideration in the context of our scrutiny of the Inquiries into Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths etc (Scotland) Bill.
The petition, by Donna O’Halloran, calls on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to change the law and procedures in relation to the investigation of unascertained deaths, suicides and fatal accidents in Scotland. Are members content to consider the petition as part of our scrutiny of the bill and to keep it open?
Members indicated agreement.
