HC Deb 02 April 1919 vol 114 cc1194-5
64. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked whether, in view of the increasing mortality among German prisoners in our hands in France, he will cause inquiry to be made as to the food, shelter, and conditions of the prisoners in the camps where the mortality is highest?

Mr. CHURCHILL

This matter is receiving careful attention, and the authorities in France are being consulted.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Will an inquiry be made into the scale of the rations?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Yes, Sir. Every care will be taken to ascertain the causes of this increase in the mortality.
