HC Deb 13 March 1952 vol 497 c164W
108. Mr. Erroll

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on the release of Frau Mewes, 38-year old former wardress at Ravensbruck Concentration Camp, from the Werl War Criminals Prison.

Mr. Nutting

Frau Mewes was tried as a war criminal early in 1947 and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. As the result of full remission for good conduct, and reckoning the amount of time spent in pre-trial custody towards sentence, in accordance with the recent ruling, she was released in February of this year.
