HC Deb 09 July 1919 vol 117 cc1838-9W
General Sir IVOR PHILIPPS

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office what steps are being taken to refund to the relations and friends of soldiers who have been prisoners of war in Germany the money they have been compelled to spend in sending food and clothing to keep them alive, these soldiers having been taken prisoner when on military duty, their conditions of service being that they should receive free rations and clothing?

Mr. FORSTER

I am afraid I can add nothing to the reply given to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for South Antrim on the 24th February last.
