§ 30. Mr. Thorneasked the Secretary of State for War whether Rudolf Hess is now kept in camp in Scotland or to what camp he has been moved; and what are his daily rations?
§ Captain MargessonIt would not be in the public interest to disclose the present whereabouts of this prisoner. His daily rations are the same as those of his guards.
§ Mr. ThorneIs the man in question getting any pay, and is he living in some villa or some big house?
§ Captain MargessonHe is certainly not getting any pay.
§ Mr. BellengerThe right hon. and gallant Gentleman refers to his having the same rations as his guards; has he an officer guard or a guard of N.C.O.s and other ranks?
§ Captain MargessonPerhaps my hon. Friend will put that Question down, but I think it is a mixed guard.
§ Mr. ThorneWhy should there be a secret about this man? Should not the public know where he is and what he is doing? Is he not claiming to be a special envoy who ought to be sent home?
§ Sir W. DavisonWe do not want him to be sent home; we want to keep him here.
