HC Deb 23 May 1890 vol 344 c1683
MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he intends to take any action on the Petition of the Mile End Vestry about Bow Cemetery?

MR. MATTHEWS

The resolution of the Mile End Vestry, which was in favour of closing Bow Cemetery, was referred by me to the Inspector of Burial Grounds, and he reports that, though the cemetery is gradually filling up, there is still room for common graves to be made. The cemetery has been placed under regulations sufficient to prevent any injury to the public health, and the Inspector has instructions to satisfy himself, by occasional visits, that these regulations are duly and fully observed.
