HC Deb 15 July 1920 vol 131 c2573
25. Mr. HANCOCK

asked the Prime Minister whether he can give the numbers and nationalities of war prisoners that have been repatriated through the League of Nations?

Mr. BONAR LAW (Leader of the House)

The arrangements which are being made by the League of Nations for the repatriation of prisoners of war have not yet been completed. No ex-prisoners of war, therefore, have yet been transported under the supervision of the League, but it is hoped that 10,000 Bulgarians will shortly be sent back to Bulgaria from Greece, and that many thousands of prisoners of all ex-enemy nationalities, as well as Russians, will be repatriated before the winter.
