HC Deb 25 November 1957 vol 578 c88W
84. Mr. D. Howell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware of the practice in hospitals throughout the country whereby doctors are increasing the charge of a second death certificate necessary for the purposes of cremation from two guineas to four guineas, and of the proposal of one hospital in the Midlands to increase the fee of six guineas; and if he will take steps to stop this unreasonable increase.

Mr. R. A. Butler

If the hon. Member will be good enough to let me have the information on which his Question is based, I shall be glad to look into it.
