Lord Avebury – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Avebury on 2015-09-17.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when the Ministry of Justice last reviewed the provisions of the Registration of Burials Act 1864 under section 149 of the Equality Act 2010.

Lord Faulks

The Ministry of Justice does not exercise any functions under the provisions of the Registration of Burials Act 1864 and has not therefore undertaken such a review. Should the Government amend the Act in the future, however, it would have to take account of the requirements of the Equality Act 2010.
