§ Mr. Craigenasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take into account the cost of certification before cremation in relation to his proposals on the death grant.
§ Mr. RossiThe options set out in the consultative document are not intended to compensate for particular component costs of a funeral, nor are they intended to represent a particular proportion of the total cost. Our aim is to pay as high a grant as possible to those in greatest need of help with funeral expenses within the constraint of the limited resources available.
