88. Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the grounds for detention at No. 1 C.I.S., Adelheide, of Colonel Hans-Joachim Ludendorff; and how much longer it is proposed to detain him.

Mr. McNeil

Ludendorff, who is a former member of the German General Staff, was detained as a militarist. His case has recently been reviewed and it has been decided that he can now safely be set at liberty. He is due for release on 5th March, 1948.
