Sir GODFREY BARING
asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his Department is refusing permission for relatives of British prisoners to go to Holland in any capacity connected with the care of these men; and, if so, whether he will state the grounds actuating this decision?
Mr. MACPHERSON
The decision to prohibit relatives of prisoners of war from going to Holland in any capacity-was reached with reluctance, after consultation with all Departments of State concerned.
Mr. MALCOLM
Does that prohibit non-relatives?
Mr. MACPHERSON
There is a question on the Paper for to-morrow. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will wait for my answer to that.
