HC Deb 17 June 1898 vol 59 c572
SIR CHARLES CAMERON (Glasgow, Bridgoton)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is yet in a position to describe the purport of the Inspector of Burials' Report upon the state of matters alleged to exist in the church and crypt of St. George the Martyr, Southwark; and whether he proposes to take any action in connection with it?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

The report discloses a state of affairs which I am satisfied constitutes a sanitary danger; and I have issued a notice to the churchwardens under section 23 of the Burial Act, 1857, calling upon them to remove the human remains from the crypt.
