HC Deb 05 August 1918 vol 109 cc944-5W
Sir E. HUME-WILLIAMS

asked the hon. Member for Sheffield (Central Division) whether the amount which British officer prisoners in Turkey are to receive from the English Government is left to the discretion of the Netherlands Minister in Constantinople up to a maximum of £18 a month; whether he is aware that the maximum of £18 is at present inadequate owing to the increased cost of living in Turkey; and whether he will now have it removed?

Mr. FORSTER

The question of modifying the present arrangements is under consideration.
