HC Deb 25 February 2002 vol 380 cc901-2W
Ian Lucas

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications by relatives of people, upon whom judgment of death was executed, for reburial outside the prison in which they were last confined have been refused since 1979. [34523]

Beverley Hughes

It has been the practice since 1965 for successive Home Secretaries to consider such applications sympathetically; none appears to have been refused over the period in question.
