asked the Secretary of State for War what specific instructions were included in orders issued to troops taking part in the Dieppe raid that prisoners when captured were to be tied up; whether these orders have now been cancelled; whether specific instructions were given that a certain number of officers were to take these orders with them; and what disciplinary action has been taken against the person responsible for issuing these instructions having regard to the effect they have had on our own prisoners of war in Germany?

I have nothing to add on this subject to the answer I gave my hon. and ,gallant Friend the Member for the Wirral Division of Chester (Captain A. Graham) on 17th November last and to the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary on 21st April.
