§ 37. Mr. Kingasked the Secretary of State for War if German prisoners of war who wish to remain permanently in this country may, on release, be first allowed a brief visit to their homes.
§ The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Bellenger)It would not be practicable to grant prisoners of war leave to Germany before their release. My hon. Friend will appreciate that after their release my Department is no longer responsible for their administration.
