§ Mr. David Steelasked the Secretary of State for Defence what was the average amount of prisoner of war credits shown in the accounts held in respect of those Royal Navy and Royal Marine officers who were prisoners of war in Germany in those camps where Royal Air Force officers were also then being detained.
