§ 16. Mr. Keelingasked the Secretary of State for War whether Government plans for post-war training and employment are communicated to prisoners of war in Germany and Japan.
§ Sir J. GriggNo, Sir, but arrangements have been made for information about the plans for post-war training and employment to be given to all prisoners of war as soon as possible after their liberation from German hands. Similar arrangements will be made for prisoners now in Japanese hands.
§ Mr. KeelingWhy cannot these Regulations, which would be of great interest to prisoners of war, be sent out?
§ Sir J. GriggMost of the prisoners of war are travelling up and down Germany in extremely uncomfortable conditions. Also, to send these regulations in any large numbers would clog up the arrangements for prisoners getting mail, and so would not be very much to their liking.
§ Mr. KeelingCould not one copy be sent to the senior officer of each existing camp?
