In her resignation list, keen to ensure that the judicial experience of your Lordships’ House should remain fresh, my noble friend also nominated the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Hallett. In addition to her distinguished service as vice-president of the Queen’s Bench Division and of the Court of Appeal Criminal Division, the noble and learned Baroness has chaired important inquests and inquiries into the deaths sustained in 7/7 and into the on-the-runs in Northern Ireland. Of course, she is now chairing another very important inquiry into the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
