§ Mr. N. Macphersonasked the Secretary of State for War if he will now, in consultation with the Secretary of State for the Home Department, arrange for Ger-man prisoners of war who desire to enter into the employ of farmers in this country and wish first to visit their relatives in Germany, to return to Germany for a 147W period not exceeding 56 says and, if they so wish, to bring back their wives and families, provided that their future employer certifies that suitable accommodation is available.
§ Mr. BellengerIt would not be practicable to grant prisoners of war leave to Germany. I will consult my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary about the possibility of allowing wives and families to come to this country, but I cannot at the moment give any indication whether or not this will be possible.
