HC Deb 01 November 1944 vol 404 cc805-6W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can make any statement on the treatment of our prisoners of war by the Bulgarians.

Mr. Law

Between 20 and 30 British Servicemen—nearly all airmen—fell into Bulgarian hands. They were placed in camps with Americans who far outnumbered our men. Some cases of ill-treatment have been reported, and they are now being investigated so that those responsible may be suitably punished. As these investigations are now proceeding, I can add nothing to this reply at the moment.
