§ 27. Sir FRANCIS BLAKEasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can give the number of repatriated British prisoners of war at present serving in this country; how many of them are eligible for demobilisation; and whether it is intended to send any of those not so eligible on further service overseas?
§ Mr. FORSTERI regret that there are no figures available to enable me to answer the earlier part of this question. As regards the last part, I am afraid I can add nothing to the information given in reply to questions on this subject put on the 25th February and 9th April last by the hon. Member for Bishop Auckland and the hon. and gallant Member for the Isle of Thanet respectively.
