HC Deb 04 October 1944 vol 403 c952W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the German soldiers are still occupying Guernsey and Jersey; how the people are being treated; and if the German soldiers have been called upon to surrender.

Mr. A. Henderson

The German garrison is still contained in the Channel Islands. No information has been received by the War Office which suggests that the behaviour of the German garrison to the civil population is other than correct. The German garrison has been given the opportunity to surrender, but has not accepted.
