asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many British officers and other ranks died during the First World War in the battles at Ypres; how many of these men are buried in Commonwealth cemeteries at Ypres; what representatives from the British Army attended the opening ceremony at the Menin Gate after the First World War; and how many official British representatives attended the wreath-laying ceremony on the 60th anniversary of the armistice held at the Menin Gate, Ypres, on Saturday 11th November.

To provide the answers to the hon. Member's questions requires research which will take a little time to complete. I shall write to the hon. Member shortly.
