On 20th October a lorry driven by a civilian was transporting prisoners of war from their camp to their work when it became involved in a road accident near Bedford with a lorry belonging to the Women's Land Army. As a result of the accident five prisoners of war were injured and of these one has died in hospital. The inquest has been adjourned for 10 days. As regards compensation in respect of the prisoner of war who has died I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply to Question No. 9 today. With regard to the prisoners of war who were injured, they will be dealt with under the scheme announced in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Maldon (Mr. Driberg) on 1st July.
