§ 5. Mr. GILBERTasked if British military or naval prisoners or British subjects interned in Germany are employed on any kind of work in the various camps or prisons; if so, is the work optional or compulsory; and do they receive any wages or remuneration for their employment?
§ Lord R. CECILI believe that British military and naval prisoners in Germany are in considerable numbers compulsorily employed on work for which they receive remuneration. Civilian prisoners are not so employed, though they are employed on ordinary fatigue work in their place of internment. This is in accordance with the Fourth Hague Convention.
