The Mail can reveal the doctors have now begun legal action, calling on Mr Grieve to petition the High Court for an inquest.
...  Lord Hutton had instructed the papers should remain secret for 70 years. But Mr Grieve used special powers he holds to take control of the files – which campaigners believe could hold the key to the case...
