HC Deb 03 May 1956 vol 552 c572
12. Mr. P. Williams

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether he will make a statement on the provision of moneys by the Government for the maintenance of war graves in South Africa.

The Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations (Commander Allan Noble)

We are corresponding with the Union Government regarding the maintenance of known graves of British soldiers in South Africa other than those for which the Imperial War Graves Commission is responsible. Pending the outcome, token provision has been made in the Commonwealth Services Estimates for a contribution by the United Kingdom Government.
