asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Baroness Taylor of Bolton on 12 December 2007 (WA 54–5) about the handling of the case of Gulf War veteran the late Mr T E Walker, what information they have on the holding of an inquest into his death and its outcome. [HL3712]

The Newcastle-upon-Tyne coroner is conducting the inquest into Mr Walker's death. He adjourned the inquest in December at the request of Mr Walker's parents, so that he could receive and consider representations about its scope. The coroner will set a date for the inquest to be resumed.
