HC Deb 18 April 1940 vol 359 cc1160-1W
Sir P. Hannon

asked the Prime Minister whether he has any recent information relating to the retention of the Rev. S. J. Martindale by the German authorities in Copenhagen; and whether steps have been taken by His Majesty's Government to assure the safety of this gentleman, and to arrange for his return to this country as early as circumstances permit?

Mr. Butler

The name of the Rev. S. J. Martindale appears on the list received from the United States Legation at Copenhagen of British subjects who are stated to be well; such steps as are possible are being taken to secure the repatriation of this and other British subjects from Denmark.
