Mr. Whiteasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can give an assurance that no more camps or other establishments for internment will be opened which do not, in every respect, comply at least with the conditions of the Prisoners of War Convention?
§ Mr. W. Robertsasked the Secretary of State for War in how many cases the camps and buildings used for the internment of refugees and aliens have failed to reach the standards prescribed by the Prisoners of War Convention?
§ Sir P. Harrisasked the Secretary of State for War whether all the internment camps for refugees have now been brought up to the standards of the International Prisoners of War Convention?
§ Sir E. GriggIt has been agreed with the German Government that the terms of the Prisoners of War Convention will be applied, so far as possible, to civilians interned as enemy aliens. This agreement has been scrupulously observed in436W all established camps. In other camps, formed at very short notice to accommodate the recent intake of aliens, it was impossible to ensure from the first an equally high standard, but shortcomings are being rapidly remedied so that the same standard will be observed in all camps.
