§ 49. Major NEWMANasked whether Edgar Speyer, born educated, and resident at Frankfort-on-Main until 1887, and naturalised in 1892, left this country on the outbreak of hostilities; whether he has, since his departure, expressed a desire to be relieved of the dignity of a baronet of the United Kingdom, bestowed on him in 1906 on the recommendation of the late Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, and to be removed from the list of His Majesty's Privy Council, to which he was sworn in 1909; and whether any technical difficulties exist that prevent this desire being granted?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI must refer the hon. Member to the published correspondence between myself and Sir Edgar Speyer on this subject.
§ Major NEWMANIs there a single chance of Edgar Speyer ever coming back to this country?
§ Mr. REDDYWill the same difficulties be removed in the case of Lord Milner? Also, can the right hon. Gentleman tell me what has become of Bosenbaum?
