§ 15. Mr. MALCOLMasked the Secretary of State for War whether any conference has been, or is likely to be, held between the military authorities of the Entente Powers to secure, so far as is possible, identical treatment of prisoners of war held by them and joint representations to the Central Powers as to the treatment of their prisoners in Germany and elsewhere?
§ Mr. FORSTERNo, Sir, I am not aware that any such conference has been held or is in contemplation. Whether any joint representation to the Central Powers would effect any change in their attitude towards prisoners of war is not clear, but this will be considered.
