HC Deb 25 March 1926 vol 193 cc1382-3
74. Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Secretary of State for War when the official inauguration and dedication of the monument on Lake Doiran, Macedonia, to British soldiers who fell there during the War, will take place; and will he take the necessary steps to ensure that the opening ceremony shall be in all respects worthy of England and of those whom the monument commemorates?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)

The Imperial War Graves Commission are endeavouring to arrange for an official inauguration ceremony during the coming spring or autumn. The hon. Member may rest assured that the ceremony will be in all respects worthy of the Empire and those whom the monument commemorates.

Mr. BECKETT

Will the right hon. Gentleman give facilities for receiving a deputation of British ex-service men at present in receipt of Poor Law relief?
