§ MR. WEIRTo ask the Lord Advocate if he will state the number of interments which took place in each of the six crofting counties last year without the production of a medical certificate of death.
(Answer.) On the 26th April, 1901, in reply to a similar Question, I pointed out to the hon. Member that a medical certificate of death is not a necessary condition of burial in any part of Scotland. There is no information in the Registrar's Office as to the number of interments without the production of a medical certificate.—(Scottish Office.)
