HC Deb 28 June 1916 vol 83 c834
38. Mr. HUME-WILLIAMS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that English prisoners in Germany are proved to depend upon presents of food from England for the necessaries of life, he will now consider the advisability of such necessities being supplied by the State instead of being left to private effort; and whether he will advise the immediate creation of a Government or War Office Department charged exclusively with the duty of pro viding and forwarding a regular supply of proper food to English prisoners?

Mr. TENNANT

The hon. and learned Member has been asked to withdraw this question.

Mr. HUME-WILLIAMS

I have not received any such application.
