§ Sir I. Fraserasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has any statement to make as to when disabled prisoners of war will be repatriated?
§ Mr. SandysArrangements for the repatriation of British and German prisoners of war who are incapacitated by wounds or sickness are now nearing completion. It is hoped that over 1,000 British prisoners and some 500 medical personnel and chaplains, who are also entitled to repatriation under the International Convention of 1929, will arrive in this country some time this month. With the same object in view, negotiations have been initiated with the Italian Government. But in this case the negotiations are not so far advanced, nor is the examination of the British and Italian wounded by the mixed medical commissions yet completed.
