Will the right hon. Gentleman make sure that there is proper co-ordination between his Department and the War Graves Commission to avoid what happened recently, when an organised party arrived on the other side and found the cemetery was in a transitional stage, with no list of graves and no flowers, with the result that the visit caused a good deal of distress in some' ways? Will he try to avoid that when these visits take place?
