PRISONERS IN JAPANESE HANDS
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, October 18.
A statement on prisoners of war in Japan was made in the House of Commons by the Minister of State, Mr. Law. He said: “While it is believed that the names of the great majority of British prisoners of war in Japanese hands are known, the Japanese authorities largely failed Io comply with their obligations in connexion with the notification of camp transfers and deaths. The British Government. therefore, is unable to regard the list of prisoners of war in their possession either as complete or up Io dale.”
