§ 78. Mr. Peelasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the Commonwealth War Graves Commission is permitted to operate in Indonesia in the same way as in other foreign fields; whether he is satisfied with the condition of the British war graves in that country; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ReynoldsYes. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission enjoys full recognition in Indonesia and the Commission has excellent relations with the Indonesian authorities.
Djakarta War Cemetery is maintained at a high standard by the Commission's staff. At Ambon War Cemetery structural work has been delayed over the last 18 months, but should soon be completed.
