answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2024 answer text <p>We have accepted that some form of regulation of the funeral sector is required. My officials have therefore been working on a plan to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the self-regulation regimes introduced by the two main representative bodies, and to launch a call for evidence.</p><p>The call for evidence will be launched before summer recess and will gather views on what type of regulation is appropriate and proportionate. Following this, we will develop and consult on proposals for the regulation of the sector. There are a number of possible routes for regulation including introducing an independent regulator. It is too early at this stage to say which is most appropriate.</p><p>I have discussed the regulation of the Funeral Sector with cabinet colleagues, and am working particularly closely with Minister Hoare on the short-term response to the tragic events in Hull and East Rising.</p> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer grouped question UIN 21226 21227 21228 21229 question first answered 22/04/2024 16:03:37 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer
