§ Mr. Marloweasked the President of the Board of Trade on what basis of calculation it was decided to issue 67 clothing coupons to each prisoner of war engaged on agricultural labour; how many coupons it is estimated will be involved; and whether he will revoke this arrangement and substitute such minimum number of coupons as may be required in individual cases.
§ Mr. H. WilsonEnemy prisoners of war employed as such on agricultural work do not receive clothing coupons. Enemy76W prisoners of war selected for and willing to accept civilian status for agricultural work may receive a grant of 21 coupons towards the initial purchase of civilian clothes, and also the ordinary civilian basic ration at the rate of 12 coupons per quarter; they also qualify, in common with other agricultural workers, for the annual issue of the "Industrial Ten" coupons.
