HC Deb 02 August 1916 vol 85 c282
7. Sir E. CORNWALL

asked whether the United States Ambassador has consented to the publication of the Report of the United States Consul-General in charge at Sofia regarding the recent treatment of British prisoners of war in Bulgaria; and, if so, what are its terms; and whether it gives the numbers and the conditions of these prisoners?

Lord R. CECIL

We have not yet received the consent of the United States Government to the publication of this Report. The names of seven officers and 447 other ranks have so far been reported to the War Office as prisoners of war in Bulgaria.
