Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Mann (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 29 October 2007 on behalf of the Church Commissioners.
Fatal Accidents (Gravestones)
- Question
- Why is it, then, that hundreds of thousands of gravestones across the country are being staked, as if they were a health and safety risk? Across the country, only two deaths have been caused by gravestones in the past 28 years. Should we not investigate precisely why local authorities and churches are taking such an absurd decision?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend raises a fair point, which I will take up with my hon. Friend the Member for Middlesbrough.
