HC Deb 08 April 1919 vol 114 c1835
32. Mr. SIMM

asked the Secretary of State for War if he can give a Return showing the number of British prisoners of war in Germany who have not been traced; and if the relatives of missing prisoners are promptly informed of the results of investigations relating to missing prisoners?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The number on the Residue List of prisoners of war unaccounted for up to the 7th April is 1,896. Information received as to prisoners who have not been accounted for is communicated to the relatives if it appears to be reliable.
