§ Wing-Commander Erringtonasked the Secretary of State for War under what circumstances nine German nurses who were captured in Normandy were returned to the German lines; and whether, in all cases where British nurses have been captured by the Germans, they have been returned with equal promptitude and under the same conditions.
§ Sir J. GriggThe nurses referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend were, I understand, personnel of the International Red Cross. No general instructions have been issued about the return to the enemy of such personnel. In this case they were returned on the authority of the local commander. No British nurses have so far been captured in Normandy.
