4. Mr. Ivor Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is now in a position to make a statement about the future use of Italian prisoners of war.

Sir J. Grigg

I regret that I am not yet in a position to make a statement.

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that eight months have passed since the collapse of Fascism, and that it is time some decision was made?

Sir J. Grigg

Yes, I am aware of that. I am doing my best.
