HC Deb 20 November 1941 vol 376 c498W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Secretary of State for India whether parcels for Indian prisoners of war are being sent from this country or from India; and whether suitable commodities from the latter country are now more accessible?

Mr. Amery

The Indian Comforts Fund in this country have taken over, on behalf of the Indian Red Cross, the supply of parcels to Indian prisoners of war in Europe. There is no difficulty in regard to the supply of suitable food and clothing. A shortage of dictionaries and reading material which existed is being made good by obtaining supplies from India.
