HC Deb 16 June 1952 vol 502 c71W
105. Mr. Nally

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action has been taken, or is proposed to be taken, against those prisoners of war responsible for the murder of fellow prisoners in the Koje island camps; and what suggestions have been made by Her Majesty's Government to the United Nations Commander on this matter.

Mr. Nutting

According to Press reports, the Camp Commandant on Koje Island, Brigadier General Boatner, has warned compound leaders that they must release all anti-Communists whom they have been holding captive, and that any further murders of fellow prisoners will meet with severe and prompt punishment. The Minister of Defence and the Minister of State will be discussing this question with the United Nations Commander.
