§ LORD PORTSEAMy Lords, I beg to ask the question on the Paper in my name.
§ [The question was as follows:
§ To ask His Majesty's Government for information regarding those officers and men who volunteered from the Norman Islands, who fought at Dunkirk, who were given leave to their homes, who were involved in the German occupation of the islands and who were sent to German concentration camps in 1940; whether the number so taken can be given; the number repatriated, the number who have died, the number who are still in the concentration camps; and whether anything is being done for them.]
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (LORD CROFT)My Lords, I much regret that the records kept by the Army do not enable me to give the figures asked for by the noble Lord, but I can assure him that nothing is being left undone to secure the return to this country of all British subjects in German hands.
