Written question asked by Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) on Thursday, 17 September 2015, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 1 October 2015. It was answered by Lord Faulks (Conservative) on Friday, 2 October 2015 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.


Registration of Burials Act 1864

Question

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.

Answer

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.
