HC Deb 15 August 1916 vol 85 cc1633-4
21. Mr. STANTON

asked the Home Secretary if he will explain why a German named Baeur is permitted to hold one-third of the capital of a firm supplying munitions; why this German is permitted to travel down to Wales when he likes and to live near a reservoir which sup plies the whole population with water; and if he will take steps to secure the internment of this alien?

Mr. SAMUEL

Without further particulars I cannot identify the case to which the hon. Member refers. If he will give me the information on which his question is based I shall be glad to make inquiries.

Mr. STANTON

May I say that I have already addressed two letters to the right hon. Gentleman giving him the proper name, yet the name is not right here?

Mr. SAMUEL

I do not think they have been received. I will make inquiries with regard to the man named.

Mr. STANTON

I wrote you two letters giving you the name.
