HC Deb 16 July 1889 vol 338 cc525-6
MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether Dr. Hoffman, the Inspector of Cemeteries, has reported to the Home Secretary that the Orders in Council are not fully carried out; and, if so, why the threatened legal proceedings in reference to Bow Cemetery have not been instituted?

MR. MATTHEWS

No, Sir. The Inspector has not reported to me to the effect suggested in the question during the last 12 months. During that time he has paid two surprise visits to the cemetery, and reported that he saw nothing to find fault with, and that the company were endeavouring, as far as possible, to comply with the terms of the Order in Council. The question, therefore, of instituting legal proceedings does not arise.

Forward to
