HC Deb 25 May 1966 vol 729 cc99-100W
78. Mr. Peel

asked 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. Reynolds

Yes. 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.
