§ 111. Mr. G. FABERasked whether the work of getting money from Germany to this country for German prisoners of war and interned Germans in this country and of distributing the money to the commandants of camps, which has hitherto been transacted through the Deutsche Bank, has now in fact been transferred to a committee and the account been transferred to the Bank of England or some other, and what, British bank; and why the work and the account were ever placed with the Deutsche Bank, which is an enemy German bank, the winding-up of which has already occupied twenty-eight months and is not yet completed?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe arrangement of the personnel of the Committee has involved a certain amount of correspondence, and those arrangements are not quite complete; but it is hoped that the Committee will be finally appointed, and the account transferred very shortly. As respects the second part of the question, it was considered that the best way of carrying out this work was through the Deutsche Bank under adequate supervision.
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI think it probable that the new Committee will make other arrangements.
