HC Deb 07 November 1945 vol 415 c1409W
Captain Bullock

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will give details of the steps taken to help persons who assisted the Allied Armed Forces and escaping prisoners of war in German-occupied Europe during the coming winter; and if a reliable list of these persons has been compiled.

Mr. Bevin

Offices have been established in a number of countries for providing monetary compensation or other appropriate recognition to those who assisted the Allied Armed Forces and escaped prisoners of war. Cases of outstanding service are also recommended for decorations. A reliable list is being compiled and in fact 72,000 cases have been investigated or are now under investigation.
