HC Deb 27 November 1916 vol 88 c21
28. Mr. J. M. HENDERSON

asked the Treasurer of the Household whether any steps have been taken, or will be taken, to exchange British and German prisoners interned in Switzerland so that such as are incapacitated for military service may be enabled to return to their homes and to civil employment?

Mr. JAMES HOPE (Treasurer of the Household)

We have made a proposal which has, we understand, been accepted by the German Government, that British and German prisoners of war who have been transferred to Switzerland shall be repatriated if found totally unfit for military service.
