HC Deb 21 December 1944 vol 406 cc1983-4W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the fact that many Italian and German prisoners of war are now employed on the land in this country, he will consider employing our British prisoners in the same way.

Mr. H. Morrison

The employment of prisoners on outside work, including work on the land, has been developed during the war on a very substantial scale, and I can assure my hon. Friend that all prisoners who are available and suitable are already employed on agricultural work.
