§ 144. Mr. Wyattasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many German civilian internees are at present in Denmark under British supervision; and when it is proposed that they should be returned to their own country.
§ Mr. MayhewThe 200,000 German civilian refugees in Denmark are not under British supervision, but are in internment camps under the control of the Danish Government. The question of their return to Germany is under discussion by the representatives of the Four Powers on the Control Council in Berlin and it is impossible to say when a solution will be reached. The problem should not, therefore, be regarded as purely Anglo-Danish, but the authorities of the British zone have agreed to receive into the British zone those of the refugees who previously lived there numbering 10,000.
