undertaking Explanation: http://politics.guardian.co.uk/lords/story/0,,2028254,00.htm... Military inquests Urgent action to tackle a backlog of inquests into military deaths and to prevent any repeat of the decade-long delay in the case of Diana Princess of Wales, was demanded by Mr Hughes, Calling for a statutory limit on the time taken to open and conclude inquests, Mr Hughes said: "Will you give some sort of undertaking that in this country in the future there won't have to be a nearly 10-year delay for an inquest as important as that into the late Princess of Wales, and years for people killed in the service of their country?" I believe "guaranty" will work just as well |
