asked the Secretary of State for War whether the credit balances of prisoners of war released to civilian status in agriculture will be paid to them in this country, in order to reimburse those prisoners of war who have no intention to return to Germany.

Mr. Shinwell

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Bedford (Mr. Skeffington-Lodge) on 16th December, and also to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Ipswich (Mr. Stokes) on 8th March, of which I am sending him copies.
