§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Prime Minister whether he will arrange for the Secretary of State for the Home Department 716W to return now to the Hague to complete the negotiations for the exchange of prisoners; and, failing that, could he send a Minister of Cabinet rank to take charge?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWA telegram was received early this morning from the British delegates at the Hague stating that a Provisional Agreement has been reached with Germany with regard to the exchange of prisoners of war. As the terms of the Agreement when they have been received in full will require careful examination by His Majesty's Government before ratification of the Agreement is possible, I can make no further statement at present.
