HC Deb 28 January 1942 vol 377 c737W
Sir W. Davison

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has considered the report from the Minister of State in the Middle East saying that he was horrified at the way British prisoners have been treated by the Italians at Bardia; what was the nature of the ill-treatment referred to; and what action has been taken in the matter?

Mr. Sandys

The Commander-in-Chief, Middle East has been asked for a full report on this matter. Until this report has been received I cannot make any statement.
