PAUPERS' MASS GRAVES

EDM number 453 in 1991-92, proposed by Alan Meale on 19/12/1991.

That this House congratulates the Daily Mirror newspaper for its expose of the scandal concerning the burials of many of the nation's homeless in mass graves in numbers of up to 15 bodies at a time in thin plywood boxes; sees such Dickensian practices as being both symptomatic and symbolic of the present Government's complete lack of concern for the country's unsheltered poor; and has thereby shamed the whole of British society by its failure to act against such disgraceful practices.

This motion has been signed by a total of 110 MPs, 5 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
