§ Lieut.-Colonel Byersasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that U.S. and Dominion officers have been reimbursed forvoluntary allotments which they made while prisoners of war for camp welfare and escape purposes; that no such repayment has been made to British officers; and whether he will reimburse them for the expenses incurred for such purposes.
§ Mr. LawsonI am not clear as to the nature of the payments by British officer prisoners of war which the hon. and gallant Member has in mind. If he will send me further particulars I will look into the matter.
