Harry Dunn’s family calls for public inquiry after inquest closes

The Northamptonshire coroner, Anne Pember, used her powers to issue three Prevention of Future Deaths notices at the end of the inquest.

She urged the UK government to look into pressures on the ambulance service and the US government to introduce driver training for their employees in the UK.

The family’s spokesman, Radd Seiger, said: “There’s a complete failure to assess the risks of bringing all those Americans here to our rural country roads.”

He added that the US government had been invited to the inquest to explain why civilian employees did not get driver training even though military personnel did, but the US did not send a representative.

He said: “Imagine being invited by His Majesty’s coroner to come and explain yourselves and effectively thumbing their nose at her, it’s extraordinary.”

A representative of Sacoolas declined to comment when contacted by the BBC.

A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: “The decision on if a public inquiry takes place would have to be made by the next government.”
