§ 5. Sir JOHN LONSDALEasked if any agreement has yet been arrived at between the belligerent Powers in reference to the mutual release of medical personnel detained with prisoners of war in the respective countries?
§ Sir E. GREYThe answer is in the negative; negotiations on the subject are still proceeding with the German Government through the United States Embassies in London and Berlin.
§ Lord ROBERT CECILDoes the right hon. Gentleman hope that these negotiations will be brought shortly to a conclusion—they have been proceeding a very long time?
§ Sir E. GREYPerhaps the Noble Lord will put down a question for next week, when I hope to be able to tell him what further progress has been made.
