24. Major NEWMANasked the Home Secretary whether he can give the amount of jam per diem or week at present allowed to interned aliens; and whether, in view of the shortage of jam for the civil population, this amount is to be continued?
§ Sir G. CAVEThe dietary at present in force allows an amount not exceeding 1 oz. per day of syrup or jam, but in view of the shortage of jam this item is being reconsidered, and in some of the camps no jam has been issued for some time past.
§ Mr. KINGIf any exception is made, will it be made on behalf of those Irish prisoners, against whom no charge whatever has been brought?
