§ 55. Captain BARNETTasked the Undersecretary for War whether German prisoners interned in the Isle of Man have been receiving one pound of butter each per week with the privilege of buying a further pound if they so desire; and, if 80, whether he will take steps to bring the ration into conformity with that enforced upon our own soldiers and the civil population?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir George Cave)My hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. The answer to the first part is in the negative. No butter is issued to prisoners interned in the Isle of Man nor are they allowed to buy any. The second part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
