HC Deb 19 July 1915 vol 73 cc1151-2
19. Mr. R. MCNEILL

asked the Home Secretary if he is aware that a man of hostile origin or association, called Reuter, resides at Normannia, Byfleet Road, Weybridge, overlooking the aerodrome at Brooklands; and that he and his wife openly express sympathy with the enemy and are believed to carry on an active correspondence by post with the Continent; and if he will say what course he intends to pursue as regards the internment or otherwise of these people?

Sir J. SIMON

The person named, though of German extraction, is a native of Finland and possessed Russian nationality when he obtained British naturalisation in 1904. I am not aware of the matters alleged in the second part of the question and I can obtain no confirmation of them. If the hon. Member will give me the information on which his question is based, I will make further inquiry.
