HC Deb 17 April 1935 vol 300 c1856W
Captain ELLISTON

asked the Home Secretary whether he will sanction the cremation by local authorities of bodies for the disposal of which they are responsible?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I presume my hon. and gallant Friend refers to the disposal of bodies not identified. Regulation 5 of the Cremation Regulations prohibits the cremation of human remains which have not been identified, and I regret that I cannot see my way to amend this provision.
