§ MR. H. BEAUMONT (Sussex, EastBourne)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what conditions the right to use private I burying grounds is granted to religious institutions; whether any record of such private burying grounds is kept; and, if so, how many have been applied for during the past five years.
§ MR. GLADSTONEAs I stated in Answer to a very similar Question a year ago, no permission to use such burial grounds as are referred to is required except in the case of a proposed new ground in a place where, in pursuance of the Burial Acts and Orders in Council there under for the protection of public health, no new burial ground may be opened without the approval of the Local Government Board. For any further information on the matter I must refer the hon. Member to the President of that Board.
§ MR. T. L. CORBETT (Down, N.)Is the right to use these grounds granted without any record of the conditions attached?
§ MR. GLADSTONEThat question should be addressed to the Local Government Board.
