HC Deb 19 December 1916 vol 88 cc1312-3
94. Mr. G. FABER

asked the Home Secretary whether the late sub-manager, deputy sub-manager, and accountant of the Deutsche Bank, and the late chief of the bill department of the Disconto Gesellschaft, who are German enemy aliens, and who were recently permitted by the late Home Secretary to remain un-interned, after their services at the said banks were dispensed with, are now under police supervision; whether two other officers, whose work at the said banks or the Dresdner Bank has lately been terminated, are now interned: and, if not, on what grounds were they exempted, and are they under police supervision?

Sir G. CAVE

Yes, Sir. The four persons referred to, who, on the recommendation of the Advisory Committee, were permitted to remain uninterned, are, like other enemy subjects, under police supervision. As regards the second part of the question, it has now been ascertained that all the remaining officers were interned last year.
