§ 103. Mr. Dribergasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that 50 German prisoners attended a football match between West Ham United and Bradford on 1st February; and if he will reconsider his refusal to allow prisoners to attend staff football matches at Crittall's factory, Braintree.
§ Mr. J. FreemanI understand that 25 German prisoners of war attended the match referred to, the club having sent 25 free tickets to the commandant of the camp. A charge is made for admission to the matches at Crittall's factory and since prisoners of war may not be in possession of sterling they cannot attend these matches.
