§ 10. Mr. BUTCHERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what authority has decided to alter the conditions under which parcels are now sent to officer prisoners of war by their relatives, and what are the reasons for such alteration; whether it is proposed to prevent relatives from sending parcels direct to such prisoners and to regulate the contents of such parcels; and whether, if any new regulations are required, it would be sufficient to regulate the number and weight of the parcels without interfering with the contents or with the senders?
§ Mr. JAMES HOPE (Lord of the Treasury)The decision in question was taken by the War Cabinet. Papers will be published almost immediately setting forth the objects and the details of the new arrangements, which will come into force on 1st August.
