§ Sir I. Alberyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if a grant is made to the dependants of persons detained under Regulation 18B if they are destitute or too old or ill to work.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonIf a dependant of someone detained under Defence Regulation 18B is in need of public assistance it is open to him or her to obtain it under the same conditions as anyone else who is in need: but there is no arrangement for paying to such a dependant some special or additional grant from public funds.
§ Sir I. Alberyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what money grant is made to persons detained under Regulation 18B who are destitute or too old or ill to work.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonIn the case of men detained in the Camp at Peel, the Welfare Fund enables a grant of 3s. 6d. a week to be made, but I understand that there is at present only one case in which such a grant is necessary. In the women's camp and the married camp, pocket money of 1s. 6d. a week is paid from public funds, but the necessity for such payment arises only in a very few cases. No grant is made in the case of those detained in prison.
