HC Deb 11 October 1944 vol 403 cc1774-5W
Lady Apsley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can now make any statement on the concluded negotiations for the repatriation, on an exchange basis, of prisoners of war who have been over three years in captivity.

Mr. Law

Yes, Sir. His Majesty's Government made certain proposals last April through the Protecting Power to the German Government. The Swiss representative at Berlin has at our request pressed hard for a reply throughout the summer but so far none has been received from the German Government.
