HC Deb 11 July 1940 vol 362 c1370W
Mr. White

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has satisfied himself that conditions in all the internment camps are at least equal to the standards laid down in the Prisoners of War Convention?

Mr. Law

I am satisfied that, in accordance with our agreement with the German Government, the terms of the Prisoners of War Convention have been applied, so far as is possible, to all the internment camps.

Mr. Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can arrange that all refugees taken to internment shall be supplied with a printed postcard which they may sign and have posted to inform their families that they are well and safe, in order to avoid the mental suffering caused by the long delay before censored letters can reach their destination under present arrangements?

Mr. Law

This has already been arranged.
