Central to what this legislation is trying to address is the issue of manifestly inappropriate burials, and they have to be centrally linked to an individual's ordinary residence, which is residence for one day within that particular institution. To do as the Deputy is proposing would mean that somebody would only have to be ordinarily resident in the institution. That removes the central tenet of what this legislation is designed to address, which is concern about manifestly inappropriate burials within an institution of this type.
