HC Deb 06 August 1940 vol 364 c22
22. Mr. Wedgwood

asked the Secretary of State for War why Dr. Celina Korn, of 57, Cleveland Square, W.2, has been refused information as to the whereabouts of Dr. Heinrich Walter, last heard of at Kempton Park internment camp on 25th June?

Mr. Eden

Dr. Heinrich Walter left this country for Canada on the steamship "Ettrick" on 3rd July. I am assured that this information was given to Dr. Korn on the telephone by an officer in my Department some time ago.

54. Sir P. Harris

asked the Prime Minister whether he is now able to state who was responsible for the organisation of internee camps and the distribution of aliens in the various centres, as well as the compilation of lists showing the location of individuals?

Mr. Attlee

The responsibility for the matters mentioned by my right hon. Friend rested with the War Office.

Sir P. Harris

Has the right hon. Gentleman made inquiries to find out who were the individuals responsible for the organisation of these camps and the failure to compile lists?

Mr. Attlee

Inquiries are going on now.
