Oral answer to question provided on Monday, 29 October 2007 in the House of Commons, by Gerry Sutcliffe (Labour), Church Commissioners.
Fatal Accidents (Gravestones)
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend raises a fair point, which I will take up with my hon. Friend the Member for Middlesbrough.
- 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?
