scale, that your Lordships’ sanction would be required. Any application
for authority to spend more money should be accompanied by an
explanatory statement showing the manner in which the ordinary yearly
grant had been exhausted. It is suggested that it would probably be con
venient to provide for this expenditure under such a head as the “ Works ”
vote in the Navy Estimates, as it is thought that if a special sub-head were
raised for the purpose, such a course might lead to the expenditure of the
maximum amount every year.

18. In the Appendix to our Report we give a Return, compiled from the
archives of the Foreign Office and the Office of Works, embodying all
available information respecting British Cemeteries abroad. We believe this
Return to be fairly exhaustive, and we think it may be useful for
purposes of future reference to place it on record. Attached to it is a
Summary classifying each Cemetery under one or other of the various
heads which we have adopted in our Report. For the sake of convenience
we have added to this Summary a column in which mention is made of
any matter which seems to us to call for special remark or recommendation.
19. Papers relating to current questions, which have arisen in the case of
Cemeteries at Monte Video, Athens, Scutari, the South African Republic,
and other places, which your Lordships have caused to be referred to us
in connexion with this inquiry, have been duly considered by us, and in
returning such papers to your Lordships we have made thereon such
observations and recommendations as seemed to us appropriate.
We have the honour to be,
My Lords,
Your Lordships’ obedient Servants,
C. W. FREMANTLE.
