§ 34. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the Secretary of State for War, how many German admirals and generals are detained in this country as prisoners of war.
§ Mr. BellengerThree field-marshals, 164 generals, and 17 admirals, Sir.
§ Air-Commodore HarveyHow many of these men have been returned to Germany since the end of the war? What does the right hon. Gentleman intend to do with those now in this country?
§ Mr. BellengerI am only the guardian of these officers. I think that the latter part of the supplementary question should be addressed to somebody else.
§ Air-Commodore HarveyWho is responsible for these admirals and generals?
§ Mr. BellengerAll these prisoners of war are now in the process of being screened by my hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
§ Air-Commodore HarveyIn view of the most unsatisfactory nature of the reply, I beg to give notice that I shall raise the matter on the Adjournment at the earliest possible time.
