§ Sir W. Davisonasked the Secretary of State for War what is the present position with regard to Italian prisoners of war now in camps in Great Britain; and whether they are free to leave camps without escort.
§ Mr. A. HendersonAs stated by my right hon. Friend in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Keighley (Mr. I. Thomas) on 9th May, Italian prisoners of war in this country have been given the opportunity of volunteering to cooperate in the war effort. Co-operators are given certain privileges, one of which is permission to exercise without escort after working hours outside their camps but within bounds prescribed by the local military commander.
