HC Deb 30 March 1905 vol 143 cc1714-5
SIR GEORGE BARTLEY (Islington, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, during the proposed visit of the Emperor of Germany and his staff to Gibraltar, only those parts of the fortress will be shown which are open to British subjects; and whether the same rules as to photographing the fortress or any parts of it will also be upheld which are rigidly enforced on British subjects.

MR. ARNOLD - FORSTER

Subject to the Regulations contained in Appendix V. of the King's Regulations, the responsibility rests with the General Officer Commanding concerned, with whose discretion it is not proposed in any way to interfere.

SIR GEORGE BARTLEY

Am I to understand that greater facilities are to be given to an Emperor who is building a fleet that may be used against us than are given to loyal subjects of His Majesty?

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

I have nothing to add to the Answer I have given.
