HC Deb 18 November 1947 vol 444 cc159-60W
91. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Secretary of State for War if his attention has been drawn to an order Ref. BAS, PRC Sc. C/BAS/EMP/451 dated 22nd August, issued from Polish Resettlement Headquarters in Scotland and by which special instructions are to be issued not to place Polish officers in any circumstances under German prisoners of war, and if will give an assurance that no Polish officers have been or will be so employed.

Mr. M. Stewart

This order was issued as a precautionary measure to ensure that Polish officers employed on the harvest should not work under the supervision of German prisoners of war employed permanently on farms. So far as I am aware this has not occurred in the past, and there is certainly no intention of allowing it to occur in the future.
