§ 4. Sir G. Foxasked the Secretary of State for War how many war graves at El Alamein are still not collected; when he anticipates that all war graves will be in one cemetery; and whether his policy on this matter has been settled.
§ Mr. BellengerWork on concentration of graves into El Alamein Cemetery has been completed and the cemetery has been handed over to the Imperial War Graves Commission. The only graves in that area which have not been concentrated, are those located in minefields which cannot be cleared of mines. I cannot give a figure of those which are irrecoverable. The policy is that all war graves will be concentrated into military cemeteries or left in civil cemeteries in those countries where suitable ones exist.
