§ 26. Mr. REMERasked the Secretary of State for War if his attention has been called to the battered state of the Union Jack in the British War cemetery at Etaples; and what steps are taken to ensure that the national flag is maintained in a proper state?
§ Mr. SHAWThe state of the flag had already been reported to the Imperial War Graves Commission and arrangements are being made to replace it as quickly as possible.
§ Mr. REMERWill the right hon. Gentleman take steps so that a tattered Union Jack does not exist in future in any of the British war cemeteries?
§ Mr. SHAWI think that the work of the War Graves Commission is exceptionally well done, and I am sure that they can be relied upon to see that these things are remedied as quickly as the damage takes place.
