HC Deb 01 November 1945 vol 415 c784W
Mr. Jennings

asked the Secretary of State for War how long it is proposed to house and feed Italian prisoners of war in this country beyond the time when the value of their labour is less than their keep.

Mr. Lawson

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 9th October in answer to a question by the hon. and gallant Member for Stockport (Wing-Commander Hulbert). Subject to the conditions then stated, Italian prisoners of war will not be retained in this country
