§ 79. Mr. Cooperasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Ukrainians, who came to this country through Italy, have now been 125W transferred as civilians to the European voluntary workers' organisation; and how many of these are at present incapacitated from illness and recently moved from Naburn, Yorkshire, to Diss, Norfolk; what is being done with these sick cases; and if it is intended to deport them to Germany.
§ Mr. EdeNone of these persons have yet been given civilian status as European voluntary workers, but it is hoped that selection teams will shortly be visiting the camps. I am informed that on 9th July there were 158 Ukrainian patients in the military hospital at Diss and that this is now the only such hospital in use for these cases. As regards the disposal of men who are not found suitable for retention in the United Kingdom as European voluntary workers, I would refer to the answer given on 16th June to the hon. Member for Bucklow (Mr. Shepherd).
