HC Deb 12 March 1917 vol 91 c748W
Colonel Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the hon. Member for Sheffield (Central Division) whether the Government will propose to the German Government the exchange of officers and men who have been prisoners of war since 1914, seeing that there is ample evidence that the long confinement is having a very serious effect not only on the health but on the minds of the prisoners?

Mr. JAMES HOPE

The proposal put forward by my Noble Friend is one of several on this subject which are receiving the careful attention of the Government.
