§ 138. Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is prepared to consider some system of incentive to German prisoners of war, such as vouchers, which could be exchanged for goods in Germany; or a system of marks for good work, which would lead to earlier repatriation.
§ Mr. LawsonI have had under consideration the question of incentives to hard work by German prisoners of war in this country, and it has been found possible to give effect to certain improvements in their food allowances, working pay and supplies, within the limitations allowed by existing conditions. I regret that it is not practicable in present circumstances to adopt the specific suggestions put forward by the hon. Member.
