HC Deb 25 October 1916 vol 86 c1138W
Sir C. HENRY

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he can state the amount that has been allotted to the wives and families of interned civilian prisoners from the commencement of the War to 30th September?

Mr. HAYES FISHER

The allowances to distressed wives and families of interned alien enemies are only made in cases in which the wives are British-born or were by birth of Allied or neutral nationality. Up to the end of September the amount of these allowances was, approximately, £200,000 for England and Wales.
