Leave It Out, Ken

No, not that one. This one:

How we treat bereaved Armed Forces families speaks volumes about us as a nation, and about the Government's priorities.

Parliament, the public, and bereaved Armed Forces families all agree that the Chief Coroner is a vital post that will drastically improve the experience of bereaved Armed Forces families. If Ken Clarke, the Minister responsible, includes the Chief Coroner in the Public Bodies Bill (a law currently going through Parliament), the Chief Coroner will not be appointed. This would deprive bereaved Armed Forces families of the independent leadership essential to the reform of the coroners system.

We need your help to persuade Ken to leave the Chief Coroner out of the Public Bodies Bill.
