§ 48. Mr. Ammonasked the Prime Minister whether it is intended to take any action to prevent any further 1761 deportation of Channel Islanders and other British subjects therein resident, to Germany and other countries in enemy occupation; and whether any effort has been made by the Allies to prevent the transfer of food from the islands and to intercept the transport of troops to and from the Channel Islands?
§ The Prime MinisterI assure my hon. Friend that we do what we can to beat the enemy.
§ Mr. AmmonIs not the right hon. Gentleman aware that letters arrive here that the Germans come and go without any attempt being made to stop them?
§ 57. Mr. Ammonasked the Home Secretary whether he can state the number of Channel Islanders compulsorily evacuated to Germany and other countries since the German occupation?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonEvery effort is being made to obtain as full information as possible about this matter, but I am not as yet in a position to add, anything to the answer which I gave last week.
§ Mr. AmmonDid not my right hon. Friend intimate, in that reply, that there was no contact between him and the War Office, so that he did not know what was happening?
§ Mr. MorrisonI do not think my answer indicated that.
§ Major PetherickIn seeking for information, will my right hon. Friend try to find out whether Channel Islanders have been sent to forced labour in Germany, or into internment, or whether they are at large there?
§ Mr. MorrisonInquiries are being made about all those matters.
