12. Major BARNESasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that photographing of war graves undertaken by the War Office out of funds provided by the British Red Cross Society has now ceased and that the Imperial War Graves Commission has not undertaken the work, declaring that it has no power under its charter and is unable to assist persons desirous of having photographs of graves; and whether, in view of the disappointment, particularly to poor relatives, he will consider the possibility of enabling this work to be undertaken by the Imperial War Graves Commission or, alternatively, of giving them power to make arrangements with private photographers to supply the photographs which are required?
§ Sir R. SANDERSI am aware of the circumstances referred to and the question of arranging for the photographs in question is being 'carefully and sympathetically considered.
§ Sir R. SANDERSI hope so.
