HC Deb 19 December 1916 vol 88 c1311
87. Mr. CURRIE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Treasury has now definitely instructed the Bank of England as bankers for the Government to discontinue the practice of declining to accept death certificates in common official form unless accompanied by unofficial certificates from undertakers, sextons, and gravediggers?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am in communication with the Governor of the Bank of England on this matter and will communicate further with my hon. Friend as soon as I am in a position to make any statement.
