Cremation: Babies
(asked on 28th March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what her policy is on Hull City Council conducting an inquiry into the baby ashes scandal with terms of reference similar to the Emstrey Inquiry.
This question was answered on 18th April 2017
I refer to my previous answers on this subject, in particular the one I gave on 1 December 2016 to questions 54429 to 54440.
The Government’s priority is to press ahead with the work already underway to improve infant cremation practices for families across the country.
The decision whether or not to conduct an inquiry is for the Council.
