§ Mr. TICKLERasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office why huts which have been used by soldiers at Bracton, Staffs, are being lined with three-ply wood and otherwise improved to accommodate German prisoners, so that they may be much better housed than our own soldiers; and is he aware of the discontent caused by this to our men?
§ Mr. FORSTERMy hon. Friend is, I find, misinformed. No improvements have been made in the huts at Bracton with a view to German prisoners being accommodated in them. They were put; up for the accommodation of British soldiers, and remain as they were when it was in contemplation to use them for this purpose.
