HC Deb 15 December 1919 vol 123 c58W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for War how many German prisoners there are in India and in Malta; and what is being done for their repatriation?

Mr. CHURCHILL

There are approximately 1,900 German prisoners of war in India, all or whom will be embarked in about a week's time for repatriation to Germany. All the German prisoners of war in Malta have been repatriated except a few sick cases (about ten), who will be repatriated as soon as their condition permits and transport is available.
