Flying-Officer Bowden

asked the Minister of Labour if he will consider the immediate release from His Majesty's Forces of all personnel who have been prisoners in Japanese hands for more than 12 months.

Mr. Isaacs

Members of the Forces who have been prisoners in Japanese hands and are not in need of hospital treatment are released from the Forces, if they so desire, irrespective of the period of their captivity, unless they are Regular members of the Forces with part of their Regular service to complete.
