HC Deb 02 November 1944 vol 404 c976W
Sir A. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will instruct officers inspecting detention barracks to inquire into the conditions of accommodation of the permanent staff as well as those of the personnel under detention.

Sir J. Grigg

The Commandant of a detention barracks is responsible to his superior commander for the provision of adequate accommodation for the permanent staff and for its maintenance at as high a standard as present conditions permit. It is the duty of commanders concerned to assure themselves by periodic inspections that their instructions in such matters are being carried out.
