HC Deb 25 March 1947 vol 435 cc167-8W
32. Sir G. Fox

asked the Secretary of State for War whether work has finally ceased on collecting unlocated graves at El Alamein: how many are employed in clearing the minefields; and when it is anticipated the weather will have rendered all the mines harmless.

Mr. Bellenger

No, Sir, work on un-located graves is continuing as the minefields are cleared. I am obtaining information as to the number of men employed on clearing the minefields and will write to the hon. and gallant Member. As regards the last part of the Question, I would refer to the reply which I gave to a Question asked by the hon. and gallant Member on 21st January.
