Politicians spend an awful lot of time talking about the latter but almost never discuss the former.
In the last few months, a select committee of MPs have been getting to grips with the sensitive issue of burying the dead. One idea is to dig them up, rebury the remains at the bottom, and put two or three more coffins in. This would require a change in the law, so Home Office Minister Paul Boateng was brought before the committee. However, these are uncharted waters for most politicians and there is no party line to follow. Paul Boateng admitted that the issue of disturbing graves was a sensitive one.
