HC Deb 15 August 1940 vol 364 c968
82. Mr. Ammon

asked the Home Secretary whether action is being taken to obtain release, by exchange or otherwise, of women and children and the aged and infirm left behind in the Channel Islands, having regard to the hardship bound to arise through shortage of food?

Sir J. Anderson

As I told my hon. Friend last week, I will bear his suggestion in mind; but, as he will realise, there are many difficulties and I can make no statement on the subject at present.

83. Mr. Ammon

asked the Home Secretary whether the people who lost their all owing to the evacuation of the Channel Islands will receive compensation?

Sir J. Anderson

I regret that I am not in a position to give any undertaking in this matter at the present time.
