HC Deb 25 March 1947 vol 435 c171W
96. Sir F. Sanderson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in cases where prisoners of war volunteer to remain in this country to work, and the Minister of Labour is satisfied that it is desirable that such prisoners of war should remain here to work as civilians, he will consider allowing them to discard their identification patches.

Mr. Bellenger

When a prisoner of war is allowed to become a civilian alien worker in this country, he ceases to be a prisoner of war and will no longer wear prisoner of war uniform.
