HC Deb 14 December 1953 vol 522 c16
21. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will state the authority responsible for implementing the Korean Armistice Agreement, in relation to the release of prisoners of war, failing a decision by the political conference before 22nd January, 1954

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

The Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission.

Mr. Henderson

Is it the policy of Her Majesty's Government that the terms of the Armistice Agreement should be strictly adhered to? Is it not clear from the terms of the Agreement that, by 22nd January, all non-repatriated prisoners of war should be released?

Mr. Lloyd

That is the view of Her Majesty's Government.
