The question

To ask the Scottish Executive when it plans to bring forward legislation to amend the law on burials and cremations.

The answer

Answered by Shona Robison on 16 Jun 2009 · 8 days after it was lodged, on time

Any legislation to amend the law on burials and cremations would be dependant on the outcome of the consultation on the Burial and Cremation Review Group''s findings. It would be inappropriate to pre-empt the outcome of the future public consultation at this time.
