HC Deb 15 June 1944 vol 400 c2163W
Mr. Burke

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that men repatriated after three years in Germany as prisoners of war, having had six months compassionate posting at home, have been transferred to an overseas draft; and if he can give some general assurance that these men will not be put into a unit for overseas save under circumstances of great urgency.

Mr. A. Henderson

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Clay Cross (Mr. Neal) on 24th May. I regret that I cannot give my hon. Friend such an assurance.
