§ Sir W. Edgeasked the Secretary of State for War what percentage of the Italian and German prisoners of war in this country, respectively, agree to do useful work.
§ Sir J. GriggSixty per cent. of the Italian prisoners of war in this country have elected to co-operate in the common war effort on employment by civilian and Service Departments on various types of work. Other Italian prisoners of war who have not so elected are, however, also employed on useful work. German prisoners of war available for work outside camps in the United Kingdom are at present only employed on agriculture.
