We believe coroners should not have discretion to omit essential evidence.","additional_details":"Sudden deaths must be investigated using full toxicology. We are concerned that current coronial practice is inconsistent, and essential evidence is often missing. Ministry of Justice guidance already recommends toxicology even in suspected suicides, but it is not mandatory. Government should require toxicology in every sudden, unexpected or unexplained death to ensure accurate, scientific and consistent investigations.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":19,"closing_date":"2027-04-06","created_at":"2026-09-04T19:46:17.390Z","updated_at":"2026-10-07T14:19:00.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-10-06T16:00:40.688Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-11T14:50:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Colette Seddon","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MoJ","name":"Ministry of Justice","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":19}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Birmingham Edgbaston","ons_code":"E14001092","mp":"Preet Kaur Gill MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Camborne and Redruth","ons_code":"E14001148","mp":"Perran Moon MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Daventry","ons_code":"E14001192","mp":"Rt Hon Stuart Andrew MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Luton South and South Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001346","mp":"Rachel Hopkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Mid Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001359","mp":"Blake Stephenson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North Shropshire","ons_code":"E14001398","mp":"Helen Morgan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West Cambridgeshire","ons_code":"E14001401","mp":"Sam Carling MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Wellingborough and Rushden","ons_code":"E14001571","mp":"Gen Kitchen MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Welwyn Hatfield","ons_code":"E14001573","mp":"Andrew Lewin MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Clwyd North","ons_code":"W07000095","mp":"Gill German MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":5},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":2},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":4},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":5},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
