HC Deb 12 May 1948 vol 450 c2121
60. Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for War how many prisoners of war are still held in No. 186 Camp, Bury St. Edmunds, pending their return to Berlin; and when he expects arrangements to be made for Berlin transport.

The Financial Secretary to the War Office (Mr. Michael Stewart)

Ninety-nine prisoners of war have been temporarily delayed in this camp. Repatriation to Berlin has now been resumed.

Mr. Stokes

Does this mean that the hold up of prisoners of war at Munster Lager due for Berlin has been removed, too?

Mr. Stewart

These difficulties arise owing to the problem of sending military trains to Berlin, and arrangements are now made to send prisoners of war by civilian trains.
