HC Deb 29 November 1946 vol 430 cc372-3W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if any special steps have been taken, or are to be taken, by the U.S.A. and other national authorities, to cooperate with the police of the United Kingdom in seeking out and placing under arrest, persons who have deserted from the Forces of those countries during the war, and who are now existing in this country without coupons or identity cards; and how many of these foreign deserters have, in fact, been repatriated during the last six months.

Mr. Ede

Full cooperation is given by the United States and other Allied military authorities to the police in seeking out and arresting deserters from the United States and other Allied Forces. I regret that I have no information as to the number of deserters who have been repatriated during the last six months.
