§ Mrs. RocheTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he next plans to meet members of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to discuss cuts to funding.
§ Mr. HanleyMy right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Defence met representatives of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission on 21 February 1994 to discuss and agree our contribution to the Commission's budget for 1994–95. There are no plans for further meetings to discuss this year's funding.
Commission staff would normally advise member nations of their funding requirement for 1995–96 in October. This will then be discussed by the commission's finance committee, on which my Department is represented.
