Mr. Reevesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been drawn to the high fees being charged by medical practitioners for certificates required under the Cremation Acts, 1902 and 1952; and whether he will expedite the negotiations with the appropriate medical professional bodies in order that a maximum fee may be fixed for these certificates which will be within the reach of the ordinary wage earner.
