§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that parents are charged £2 15s. a month for bread sent from Copenhagen to their sons who are prisoners of war; and whether, seeing the rations which are allowed to conscientious objectors in this country for doing comparatively little work, he can see his way to supply men who have fought for their country, and had the misfortune to be taken prisoners, with bread rations free of charge to their parents?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe charge made for bread sent from Copenhagen is 10s. per four weeks in the case of officers and 7s. 6d. for other ranks. In neither case does this cover the cost involved. Should relations not be in a position to meet this charge the bread is sent free.
