§ 17. Mr. Skeffington-Lodgeasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will rescind the regulation under which P.O.W's. are at present banned from participating in concerts or other entertainments where an admission charge is made and where money is to be raised 834 for some charitable, religious or relief objective.
§ Mr. ShinwellNo, Sir. It would not be fair for prisoners of war to entertain as artistes in direct competition with British civilians.
