Baby ashes inquiry: Shropshire council apologises

Clive Wright, Chief Executive of Shropshire Council, has offered his ''sympathy and sincere apologies to all bereaved families'' following an inquiry into why bereaved parents did not receive their babies' ashes.

At least 60 families are believed to have been affected by failures at Shrewsbury's Emstrey crematorium between 1996 and 2012.

The Shropshire Council-commissioned report said poor training and out-of-date equipment were mainly to blame.
