HC Deb 13 November 1940 vol 365 c1733W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the position with regard to the restoration of kit of officers and men who have been taken prisoner; and whether it is possible in such cases for kit to be restored at the Government's expense and be dispatched from this country to the prisoners in enemy territory?

Mr. Law

With regard to the provision of necessary clothing whilst officers and men are prisoners in Germany, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given yesterday to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Wycombe (Sir A. Knox). Any question of compensation or refitment will be dealt with under the appropriate regulations on the return of the officers and men concerned to this country.
