HC Deb 17 March 1943 vol 387 c1204W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary of State for India how many Jewish internees from Ceylon are still in internment in India; whether their cases have come before any tribunal; and whether he will consider treating these people with the same generosity as has been shown in this country and in other parts of the Empire?

Mr. Amery

Sixteen German-Jewish internees were received from Ceylon for detention in India. All of them have been or are in process of being transferred from internment camps to parole centres. The Government of India propose to review the position with a view to the release of these Jewish refugees when the threat of invasion has disappeared.
