§ 12. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked what payments are made by this country to German officer prisoners, and what payments do our own officer prisoners in Germany receive from that country?
Mr. BAKERGerman officers prisoners in this country receive 4s. a day (£6 a month) if below the rank of captain, and 4s. 6d. a day (£6 15s. a month) all other ranks, except medical officers, who under the Geneva Convention receive the full British pay of their ranks. Our officers prisoners in Germany of the same ranks receive £3 and £5 a month, respectively, and I have no information to show that medical officers receive more.
§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSWill the hon. Gentleman make quite certain that these payments are received by our officers in Germany?
Mr. BAKERI believe such communication as is possible is going on at the present time in regard to this matter.
