Lieut.-Colonel Clifton-Brownasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if steps can be taken to give an extra issue of coal to repatriated Far East prisoners of war during the winter months.
§ Mr. ShinwellLocal Fuel Overseers are authorised to grant any additional supplies which may be needed in cases of sickness vouched for by medical certificates, but I regret that no general allowance to repatriates from the Far East is possible.
