HC Deb 17 October 1916 vol 86 c408W
Major HUNT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is able to give the House any information respecting the proposed internment of Moslem prisoners of war at Famagusta, in Cyprus; and whether it would be practicable for the military authorities to use that camp for Bulgarian instead of for Turkish prisoners?

Mr. FORSTER

Yes, Sir, a camp for the accommodation of the Moslem prisoners of war is in course of formation at Cyprus. The local authorities have, of course, been consulted, and no reason is seen for reserving this camp for Bulgarian prisoners.
