HC Deb 20 June 1916 vol 83 c36W
Mr. GRAHAM

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War what food is allowed daily to each of the Irish untried prisoners detained in Wandsworth Prison; whether he is aware that the prisoners state that they arc half-starved, and that the amount of food supplied daily is not sufficient for one meal; and considering that many of the prisoners were not in any way connected with the recent revolt in Ireland, will he give instructions that they be as well treated as German prisoners of war?

Mr. TENNANT

The diet hitherto supplied for prisoners of war at Wandsworth Detention Barracks is that known as Scale B. This is now being discontinued, and the diet for prisoners of war substituted.
