Mr. Amoryasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the British war graves in the Evergreen Memorial Park, Portsmouth, Virginia, are in a neglected and uncared for condition; and whether he will take immediate steps to ensure that these graves are put into a decent condition and properly tended.
§ Mr. StracheyAs the hon. and gallant Member is aware from his recent correspondence with the Imperial War Graves Commission, the allegation that these graves are neglected is being investigated by the Commission's Canadian Agency, who are responsible for seeing that the arrangements for maintaining British war graves in the United States are carried out. As soon as the report is received it will be sent to him.
