I thank the hon. Gentleman for that intervention. He is, of course, exactly correct on that point. It is a time of great grief and distress to families, and they are often not in a position either to know what the legal technicalities are or to ensure that they are...

On that specific point, which relates to the concern the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) raised earlier, one issue my constituent raised was that the practice occurs at a time of bereavement and grieving, and consequently people are far less likely to complain, because they wish to move on...

I thank my hon. Friend for that intervention. I appreciate that if such practices have occurred, families will in many cases feel reluctant to
raise a complaint. None the less, we need evidence, so if people are aware of such activities, I encourage them to come forward.

That this House welcomes the bid to reinter Richard III's remains in Leicester; notes that the former King's remains have remained buried in Leicester for over 500 years; recognises the essential role that the University of Leicester's archaeologists have played in uncovering his burial site; believes that it is only right and dignified that the remains remain in their resting place and not be transported to another place; hopes that the remains be buried in Leicester permanently; acknowledges that the Battle of Bosworth and this historical tale is another fantastic aspect to Leicester's cultural heritage; and calls on the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to give the city the deserving title of City of Culture 2017.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many Social Fund budgeting loan applications to pay for funeral expenses have been (a) received and (b) awarded; and what the total cost of the awards was in each month since May 2012.
[163855]
DWP does not hold information on the reasons why budgeting loans were requested. Consequently, it is not possible to provide statistics on the number of budgeting loans that were taken out to contribute to funeral costs. The only figures available are for applications made directly to the Social Fund's funeral payment scheme.
Table 1 provides the number of funeral payment applications received, awards made and total expenditure made monthly between May 2012 and June 2013 inclusive.

| Notes: 1. The information provided is Management Information. Our preference is to answer all parliamentary questions using Official/National Statistics but in this case we only have Management Information available. It is not quality assured to the same extent as Official/National statistics and there are some issues with the data, for example, these amounts do not include expenditure on applications which were processed clerically and have not yet been entered on to the Social Fund computer system. 2. Application and award volumes are rounded to the nearest 10. All expenditure figures are rounded to the nearest £100. Source: DWP Policy, Budget and Management Information System |
