HC Deb 22 October 1940 vol 365 cc947-8W
Sir J. Mellor

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is satisfied that the war organisation of the British Red Cross Society and Order of St. John has an adequate staff to deal with the present volume of work entrusted to it in connection with the welfare of British prisoners of war in enemy hands?

Sir E. Grigg

I understand from the war organisation of the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John that their staff is adequate for the work they have undertaken and that they are keeping the question under review in order to expand and strengthen their staff as the situation may demand.
