HC Deb 10 July 1947 vol 439 c243W
94. Mr. Bossom

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, due to manpower shortage and our financial difficulties, he intends to use the labour of prisoners of war to construct the new G.H.Q. for the Middle East.

Mr. J. Freeman

The bulk of the labour used for the new G.H.Q., Middle East, has been, and is being, found from prisoners of war.
