HC Deb 05 March 1917 vol 91 c54W
Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any British prisoners in the hands of the Turks have been released by the capture of Kut and the operations connected therewith; and whether he has made inquiry on this subject?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I have not received any information to this effect; and as the General Officer Commanding would not have failed to Report the circumstance, I do not think that special inquiry is necessary.
