HC Deb 25 May 1916 vol 82 c2257
3. Mr. MALCOLM

asked when the White Paper containing the American Reports of British prisoner camps in Germany will be issued; what reason is assigned for the delay in its publication; and how many Reports have been received since 31st March?

Sir E. GREY

The White Paper in question has, I understand, been issued this afternoon. I am afraid that some delay was inevitable in view of the pressure of work in the printing department. I understand that twenty-one Reports have been received since the 31st March last.

Mr. MALCOLM

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether those Reports will be included in the White Paper?

Sir E. GREY

I would like to inquire about that.

4. Mr. MALCOLM

asked what reply has been received in reply to the inquiries made of the German Government as to the rate of exchange governing the issue of pay to officer prisoners in Germany; and, if the reply was unsatisfactory, what further representations have been made to the German Government?

Sir E. GREY

No reply has yet been received from the German Government, and the United States Ambassador has been requested to endeavour to obtain a reply at an early date.
