HC Deb 11 May 1944 vol 399 c2101W
Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the arrangements for the separation of Austrians from German prisoners of war has been carried out in respect of all prisoners in British control in whatever part of the world they may be.

Mr. A. Henderson

The arrangements for the separation of Austrian from German prisoners are applied, as far as possible, to all prisoners held by the Government of the United Kingdom whether in this country or in commands overseas. Prisoners transferred to Dominion or Allied Governments are held by those Governments as Detaining Powers under the Geneva Convention and they are entirely responsible for the administration and treatment of such prisoners.
