HC Deb 08 October 1940 vol 365 cc265-6W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Home Secretary whether the case of Mr. E. L. Diamond, A.M.I.M.E., M.Sc., detained under Regulation 18B, who, before the war worked for 13 years on the staff of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, has yet been heard by the Advisory Committee; and, if so, what was their decision.

Mr. H. Morrison

This case has not yet been heard by the Advisory Committee, but I understand that they hope to be able to hear it in the near future.

Mr. Stokes

asked the Home Secretary when the case of No. 1341, Mr. John Wynn, now detained under Defence Regulation 18B at No. 7, Prisoners of War Camp, at Ascot, will be heard by the Advisory Committee; for how long he has been detained; and for what reason?

Mr. H. Morrison

I hope that it will not be long before the Committee is able to hear this case. Mr. Wynn has been detained since the 13th July, the reason for his detention being as specified in para. (1A) of Defence Regulation 18B.
