10 Downing Street - Military Deaths Petition
 
I have had a petition to 10 Downing Street accepted it reads.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Hasten the
time it is taking the Oxfordshire coroner to complete the
inquests into military deaths

Bereaved families are having to wait for years for the
Oxfordshire Coroners Office to hold inquests into military
deaths. Ms Harman admitted this week that the situation was
"unacceptable" yet there are 106 military cases to deal with.
In order to stop the morale of the services sinking lower I
urge the Prime Minster to ask The Minister of State, Department
for Constitutional Affairs to intervene and hasten these inquests.

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/inquests/

Please take the time to go to and sign the petition, for the sake of all the familys.

Tappers Dad,
I've tried, but the link isn't working.
Can you confirm the address is OK?
Thanks

Done, naturaly.. but the Petition site is only showing 1 signature, the originators at that? ....

Is No10 at it again? or just another No 10 'IT' WinWin system...... that only supports the great leaders chosen ideas

I've signed it but if its anything like the road charges one they'll ignore it and Bliar will send you a personal e-mail saying its our fault.

I have now adjusted the link on the thread starter. It seems to be working OK now and I will delete the others.

Good luck.

Once again, done naturally. I hope it brings a postive result.
Good Luck PFR.

I heard on Radio 4 last week that military deaths will be going into Lyneham instead of Brize as of April 1, and therefore to the Wiltshire coroner...with no additional resourcing.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6468171.stm

Perhaps the doggedness of the Oxfordshire deputy coroner in the case of L/Cpl of Horse Matty Hull (unlawful killing) was less than welcome....:mad:

Winch-control 29th Mar 2007 21:27

Done. Good luck.

Tappers' Dad,

done, good luck.

Incidentally how right the previous poster was about the Oxfordshire Deputy Coroner re. the A-10 'attack'- seems highly likely to be a major career limiting move on his part but he has the b*lls !

If anyone knows his details, in a discreet non creepy sort of way, he should get a slap on the back from 'normal' people - even those with no knowledge of military whatsoever could recognise he was not just being a 'nice quiet lad' - should be next PM !...

sharmine 30th Mar 2007 08:22

Done. I am also concerned that the move to Lynham will only add to the delay.

Why aren't these inquests dealt with at the units base which is where the family are more likely to be. Or even better why not hold them at a place requested by Next of Kin. Seems barking to me to expect folks to travel to Oxford if they want to be at the inquest only adding to their pain and Grief.

Done. Its hard enough as it is. The coroners are working under ridiculous constraints, they need all the help they can get in their efforts to give the families the answers, and to allow the fallen to have some peace.

Rigchick 30th Mar 2007 13:18

Done and Good Luck. Hopefully someone will take notice.

airborne_artist 30th Mar 2007 15:53

TD - is this on ARRSE? I don't want to duplicate what you may have already done.

barnstormer1968 30th Mar 2007 21:18

Tapper's dad. thank you for your email. Reply already sent to you. Both Barnstormer and his eldest son have signed with pleasure.
I hope most Ppruner's would agree that you have every right to be a proud father of Tapper. But can, and also should be proud of your effort to make military flying safer for ALL in the future, through you calm, honourable and level headed approach to what is a very personal campaign for you.

Trapper's dad,

Whilst you have a lot of support here I think you will need to address a wider audience if you want a result.

May I suggest you approach the national newspapers and TV & Radio. They are always after a good story and their publicity may make a difference.

Regards

Saintsman
