§ Mr. GRETTON (for Lord Charles Beresford)asked whether Hougomont Farm was the property of the British Government; whether yearly financial provision was made for its maintenance as a British graveyard; and, if so, what amount; whether visitors were charged for admittance; and what arrangements were made for its proper custody and reverent control?
§ Mr. HALDANEHougomont Farm is not the property of the British Government, and there is no British graveyard there. I am informed that the bodies of those who fell there were removed many years ago to the cemetery near Brussels. The arrangements for admission to and the preservation of the farm rest, it is understood, with the local proprietor.
