§ 111. Mr. SNOWDENasked if the Press Bureau has issued instructions to the Press to the effect that no mention must be made of the fact that the German authorities have given permission to a British soldier, who is a prisoner of war in Germany, to return to this country on parole for fourteen days to see his dying mother?
Mr. SAMUELI am informed that the-request was made in the interest of the 985 officer who was released on very strict conditions. There was no wish to conceal the fact that an officer had been released on parole.
