§ Mr. Nicholas Bakerasked the Attorney-General if he has received representations about the return of the bones of Saint Edward, the Anglo Saxon martyr king, to Shaftesbury; and if he has been engaged in legal proceedings concerning the return of the bones.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI have received a number of representations on this matter from supporters of the King Edward Orthodox Trust, who wish to establish a resting place for the bones at Brookwood Cemetery, and from others who would like to see the bones returned to Shaftesbury where they were discovered. I have no plans, at present, to pursue legal proceedings concerning the return of the bones.
