HC Deb 05 June 1945 vol 411 c721W
Mr. H. Lawson

asked the Secretary of State for War if field allowance is to be paid to officers for periods which they have spent in prisoners-of-war camps or on the march between one camp and another whilst prisoners of war.

Sir J. Grigg

Prisoners of war have not, so far as I am aware, incurred expenditure of the kind which field allowance is designed to cover, and they are therefore not entitled to the allowance.
