HC Deb 16 March 1900 vol 80 c1070
SIR WALTER FOSTER

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether his attention has been called to the frequency of complaints in coroners' courts respecting the signature and filling up of death certificates; and whether he will bring in a Bill to amend the law of death certification, as recommended by the Select Committee of 1893.

THE SECRETARY OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. T. W. Russell,) Tyrone, S.

Yes, Sir; complaints have been made of the kind referred to. The question is being considered, but I am afraid no undertaking such as that asked for by the hon. Member, to bring in a Bill during this session, can be given.
