Bereaved families are calling for the government to regulate the funeral industry after a Hull undertaker admitted keeping 30 bodies at his premises, despite claiming they had been cremated. 48-year-old Robert Bush was arrested after police began investigating Legacy Independent Funeral Directors more than two years ago. He'll be sentenced in July. Emma Hardy the Labour MP for Hull West and Haltemprice and Andrew Judd from the National Association of Funeral Directors talk to BBC Breakfast about how they believe the funeral industry should be regulated.
