§ Mr. G. FABERasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he is able to state how many German prisoners of war we hold and how many prisoners of war of ours the Germans hold, calculated up to 30th April last or such other recent date as it may be found more convenient to select?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe number of German combatant prisoners of war held by us is 129,213.
The number of British combatant prisoners of war held by Germany is approximately 124,000 of all ranks. The figures cannot be given with certainty, as. they have not yet been received from Germany.
