HC Deb 07 October 1941 vol 374 c858W
Sir G. Fox

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is satisfied that prisoners of war in such camps as Stalag VIII B, who work in mines, are fully protected and benefit by the insurance schemes in force in the country where they are detained as well as drawing a somewhat higher rate of pay?

Captain Margesson

Any disability incurred by a prisoner of war as a result of his employment at work for the enemy would be regarded as attributable to military service and if he was rendered unfit for further military service by disablement he would qualify on discharge from the Army for pension in the normal way.
