COMMISSION
1. OUR DELIBERATIONS ON THIS SUBJECT HAS BECOME ENTANGLED WITH A GENERAL REVIEW ON LAND GRANTS FOR USE AS PRIVATE CEMETERIES. THE REVIEW HAS BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT BY A RECENT APPLICATION FROM THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF THE CHINESE PERMANENT CEMETERIES (THE BOARD) TO BE GRANTED AN EXPANSION AREA AT ONE OF THEIR CEMETERIES AT ABERDEEN. THE PRACTICE IN THE PAST ON MAKING LAND AVAILABLE FOR USE AS PRIVATE CEMETERIES APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN INCONSISTENT. IN SOME CASES (INCLUDING THE CEMETERY AT ABERDEEN AND THE CWGC CEMETERIES), LAND WAS MADE AVAILABLE BY WAY OF DEEDS OF APPRROPRIATION. IN OTHER CASES, LAND LEASES WERE GRANTED. THE OUTCOME OF THE REVIEW WILL HAVE A BEARING ON OUR PROPOSAL ON THE LINE TO TAKE WITH CWGC AND ON HOW THE SUBJECT SHOULD BE
BROACHED WITH THE CHINESE.
2. ONCE WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR REVIEW WHICH WE HOPE TO DO WITHIN A MONTH OR SO, WE WILL BE IN A POSITION TO FINALISE OUR PAPER
ON THE CWGC CEMETERIES.
