§ 5. Mr. MOUNTasked what steps are being taken by the War Office to supply prisoners of war in Germany with clothing for the winter months; and whether, among the clothing which is being or will be sent are included shirts, underclothing, boots, mufflers, and socks?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe War Office has been in consultation during the last two weeks with some of those who have taken a leading part in looking after the welfare of prisoners of War in Germany, and they will in a few days be considering definite proposals with regard to the supply of clothing to prisoners during the winter months. I cannot at the present moment state what the measures to be taken will be, but I can assure the hon. Gentleman that the consignments to be sent, like those which have already been sent in the past, will include shirts, underclothing, boots and socks. It is proposed to leave the provision of mufflers to private enterprise.
