Baroness Merron (Lab)
That, my Lords, is exactly why we are taking the action that we are.
Lord Sahota (Lab)
My Lords, some communities prefer to have open-air funeral pyres. What is the Government’s policy on that?
Baroness Merron (Lab)
I cannot give a detailed reply to my noble friend, much as I would love to, but I will be glad to look into that and write to him. The main thing to say is that, in all this work, our focus is on the security and dignity of people after death across a wide range of settings. That is what will guide us.
