§ 49. Mr. Stokesasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware that instructions have been given in the British zone that Hungarian prisoners of war, lately employed by the British military authorities, with their families, are to be forcibly repatriated against their will; and whether he will repeat his instructions to the authorities concerned, 111W that no repatriation is to take place against the will of the individual.
§ Mr. J. Hynd:These surrendered enemy personnel fought against the Allies and there is no reason why they should not be returned to their country of origin. However, I know of no instructions for their forcible repatriation. On humanitarian grounds and at the request of the prisoners themselves arrangements are being considered for their families to be repatriated with them.
