HC Deb 18 November 1938 vol 341 cc1218-9W
Mr. W. R. Duckworth

asked the Secretary of State for War how many cemeteries of British troops abroad unconnected with the Great War are now looked after by any agency in this country?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

In addition to military cemeteries at stations abroad that are maintained by the local military authorities, there are 20 cemeteries overseas containing graves of sailors, soldiers or airmen who died before or after the Great War, which are administered by the Imperial War Graves Commission, from funds provided for the purpose by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom. No other agency in this country is concerned.
