Nimrod inquest coroner refuses to hand back top-secret papers to MoD lawyers

An MOD blunder that may actually be of some benefit .....

A coroner refused today to return secret documents handed to him in error by the Ministry of Defence.

David Evans, acting for the Ministry of Defence at a pre-inquest hearing at the Oxford Coroner's Court, said the two documents should not have been released to the coroner.

He asked Mr Walker to send the documents back, unread, and said the MoD was "confident" that permission to return a modified version, with certain confidential information removed, would be granted.

But Mr Walker replied: "My concern is that if I surrender these documents, I am not going to see them again.
