§ 93. Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Secretary of State for War what improvements have recently been made in the food allowance, working pay and supplies for German prisoners of war.
§ Mr. LawsonFull particulars of the ration scales were given on 9th July, in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Newbury (Mr. Hurd). In future, German working prisoners of war will receive pay for all hours worked instead of a limited daily rate. They will also qualify for a small issue of free cigarettes subject to availability of supplies and a certificate of good work from their employers.
§ 105. Mr. Hurdasked the Secretary of State for War if he will issue instructions that prisoners of war who, during haytime and corn harvest, work overtime on farms until 8 p.m. shall not be denied In evening meal when they return to camp.
§ Mr. LawsonThe instructions already prescribe the provision of an evening meal on return to camp. If the hon. Member knows of a case where the instructions are not being followed I should be obliged if he would send me particulars.
