§
Lords Amendment: In page 62, line 24, at end insert:
and
(b) section 51 of the Burial Act 1852 shall apply to cemeteries in which burials are discontinued by virtue of this subsection as it applies to burial grounds in which interments are discontinued under that Act.
§ Mr. CorfieldI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
This Amendment maintains the present position in Greater London. I understand that a parish may have its burial ground in another parish. If such a burial ground is compulsorily closed, the Section quoted in the Amendment enables a chapel belonging to that burial ground to be handed over to nominees of the church authorities in the parish where it is situated.
§ Question put and agreed to.
