In view of my right hon. Friend's reference just now to the fulfilment of the terms of the Geneva Convention, will he recollect that those terms laid down that prisoners of war shall receive the same conditions of treatment as our garrison troops, and as our garrison troops in Germany get an exchange of 40 marks to the pound, will he please arrange for prisoners of war to get the same rate of exchange?
