§ Lord H. CAVENDISH - BENTINCKasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the question of the rank and pay of interpreters at the prisoners-of-war camps in England; and whether, in view of the arduous nature of their duties, he will afford facilities for their promotion beyond the rank of lieutenant and will also grant them a gratuity on demobilisation?
§ Mr. FORSTERI would refer my Noble Friend to the reply which I gave on Wednesday of last week to the hon. and gallant Member for Durham, to the effect that I am inquiring into the circumstances in the case of these interpreters.
