§ 11. Sir J. WALTONasked why the British Goviernment should have considered it advisable to grant safe conducts to Captain von Papen and Captain Boy-Ed, thus enabling them to direct their energies towards the injury of this country nearer home?
§ Lord R. CECILIn deference to the officially expressed wish of the United States Government, His Majesty's Government and the French Government consented to give safe conducts to these officers.
§ Commander BELLAIRSWill any escort or retinue be allowed to accompany these gentlemen? Will any men of military age be allowed to go with them?
§ Lord R. CECILI should like to have notice of that question.
§ Colonel YATEWill any steps be taken when releasing these two individuals, to secure the release of Colonel Napier and Mr. Stanley Wilson, M.P.?
§ Lord R. CECILIt is not a question of releasing the individuals. It is whether they are doing more harm in America than they will do in their own country.
