§ MR. PAUL (Edinburgh, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the facts that the churchyard of Ringstead, in Northamptonshire, was closed for burials on the 30th April last by an Order in Council, dated the 28th December, 1892; that the Parochial Sanitary Committee appointed to provide a new burial ground have not done so; and that the population of Ringstead, numbering more than 900 persons, is now without a burial ground; and what steps can be taken to remove this serious danger to the public health?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fife, E.I am glad to be able to inform my hon. Friend that a site for a new burial ground has now been selected by the Sanitary Authority and approved of by the Secretary of State.
