HC Deb 04 July 1916 vol 83 cc1343-4
4. Mr. MALCOLM

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what reply, if any, has been received from the German Government regarding the starvation of British prisoners at Ruhleben; and what course His Majesty's Government intends to adopt towards German civilians interned in Great Britain?

Sir E. GREY

No reply has been received from the German Government to our Note, a telegraphic summary of which was communicated to them on the 26th ultimo. I cannot say more till His Majesty's Government have been able to consider the question of German prisoners in this country.
