76. Mr. PETO

asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade if he will state what provision the Government propose to make for officers and men of the Merchant Service and their wives and children in the case of total or partial disablement and incapacitation from earning a livelihood due to the hardships of internment during the War in enemy country?

These men are already entitled to compensation under the War Risks Compensation Scheme for the Mercantile Marine.
