HC Deb 28 November 1917 vol 99 c1997
36. Mr. BILLING

asked whether the Government has sanctioned the practice instituted at Donington Hall of allowing German prisoners of war periods of leave; whether parole is taken on these occasions; and, if not, whether they are accompanied by any guard?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Sanction has never been granted for periods of leave. The last two parts of my hon. Friend's question do not therefore arise.
