Good Morning,
Thank you for your e-mail.
I can confirm that this response is still outstanding. We received the following communication on the 30th July, but have had nothing since:
“Thank you for your email enclosing the Senior Coroners Regulation 28 Report. I am sorry for the delay in responding. I confirm receipt of the report, and that this has been transmitted, via the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Coroner Liaison Officer, to the British Consulate in Crete for onwards transmission to the relevant Greek authorities.
Whilst I can confirm the transmission, the FCDO cannot guarantee the Greek authorities will respond to the coroner’s report by the 26th August 2024, if at all. Please let me know if you require anything further.”
Best Wishes
– Coroner’s Officer Cheshire Coroner's Court, Museum Street, Warrington, WA1 1JX
