§ 4. Colonel YATEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War for what reason the military European German subjects 211 taken prisoners of war during the operations in German East Africa have not been removed to India for internment in the same manner as the German residents in British East Africa were removed; how many of these Germans are there now in German East Africa, and what is going to be done with them; and how many German civilians are there now in German East Africa and what is being done with them?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONGerman combatant prisoners of war are transferred to Egypt for internment as opportunity offers. According to the latest information on the subject received in the War Office there were fifty-two German combatant prisoners of war in German East Africa, and presumably these were awaiting transfer to Egypt. The last part of my hon. and gallant Friend's question should be addressed to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
