§ Mr. BellengerInstructions have already been issued that prisoners of war should start and stop work at the same time as the civilian worker and that camp arrangements should be made to conform with this need
§ Mr. Emrys Robertsasked the Secretary of State for War what is the daily food ration of German prisoners of war employed on agricultural work living in prisoner-of-war camps; and whether he is satisfied that it is adequate having regard to the work which they are called on to perform.
§ Mr. LawsonI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given today to the hon. Member for Newbury (Mr. Hurd). I think he will agree that, in present circumstances, the scales may be regarded as adequate.
