HC Deb 14 March 1973 vol 852 c351W
28. Mr. John

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he is satisfied with the arrangements for supply of death certificates to next-of-kin of British subjects dying abroad.

Mr. Kershaw

Yes. Local authorities in foreign countries supply death certificates in most cases in a satisfactory manner. On the basis of such a certificate, a death can be registered in the consular registers and a copy of the registration supplied.
