HC Deb 18 November 1947 vol 444 c158W
93. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will authorise the limit in weight of articles taken home by German prisoners of war repatriated from this country to be varied to enable them to take back what they can reasonably carry, particularly, of those articles they have made themselves or that have been given to them.

Mr. M. Stewart

The scales of baggage authorised are the same as for British troops. In addition the prisoner of war can carry a parcel of books and his small kit and can send surplus baggage in advance by parcel post.
