HC Deb 18 May 1915 vol 71 c2123
20. Sir EDWIN CORNWALL

asked whether the Treasury have in any case given authority for German subjects to obtain bearer securities from bankers on an undertaking that the value of such securities should not be transmitted to an alien enemy; and, if so, what safeguard is there to prevent the proceeds reaching an alien enemy through a neutral country?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I cannot trace any case of the nature referred to but if my hon. Friend knows of any and will give me particulars, I shall be glad to have inquiry made.
