asked the Undersecretary of State for War if he is now in a position to make a statement concerning the treatment of British prisoners; whether the stipulations of the military convention of January, 1917, are being infringed; and, if so, what retaliatory measures it is proposed to take?

This matter has been referred to the War Cabinet, but I am afraid I can add nothing at present to the reply which I gave my hon. and gallant Friend on the 2nd May.
