As stated in the answer to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Dumbartonshire (Mr. McKinlay) on 24th June last, the pay received by prisoners of war is determined by their status as prisoners of war and not by reference to the charges made for their services. All pay issued to them is paid from Army Funds, and the net receipts in respect of their services accrue to Army Funds, which incur heavy expenditure in administration and maintenance of prisoners of war generally.
