HC Deb 05 June 1924 vol 174 c1450
49. Captain WEDGWOOD BENN

asked the Prime Minister whether he can make any statement in reference to the repatriation of political prisoners in the Ruhr and the Rhineland?

Mr. PONSONBY

My information is that repatriation is gradually proceeding. I would call the attention of the hon. and gallant Member to the Debate in this House of the 30th of April last.

Captain BENN

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether since the Debate the Government have urged upon the French Government the desirability of repatriating these prisoners in the interests of European peace?

Mr. PONSONBY

His Majesty's Government have borne that fact in mind.
