Anon @ 13.58 - I have yet to see a single policy that does include it.

Even if it did, it would still leave a large proportion of the country in the gap between the legal aid means test limit (really not that high) and being truly wealthy and/or with LEI cover.

As a matter of principle, I simply do not understand how the state can employ legal representation whilst continuing to argue that the inquest is an inquisitorial process and hence the family don't need representation. I have known Hospital Trusts to employ QCs to protect their reputation .... err sorry, I meant "to assist the coroner".
