Private Burial Grounds

Lord Adonis Excerpts

Monday 18th June 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Keen of Elie]

My Lords, I am not in a position to give even an estimate of the number of private burial grounds in the country at present, but I will make inquiries as to whether those figures are available to the Government. In the event that they are, I undertake to write to my noble friend and place a copy of the letter in the Library.

[Lord Adonis (Lab)]

My Lords, does the noble and learned Lord know whether Karl Marx is public or private property?

[Lord Keen of Elie]

My understanding is that there is no right of property in a body.
