§ 4. Mr. GINNELLasked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in whose employment Mrs. Harriet Scott was, and how she came to be made the bearer of an important communication from the British Government to the Finance Commissioner of Hungary, seeing that the documents which enabled her to pass to and from this country into and out of enemy countries on that occasion and at will during eighteen months of the War were British and not American?
§ Sir E. GREYMrs. Scott was born an American, and was never made the bearer of a communication from the British Government to the Finance Commissioner of Hungary, as no such communication has ever existed or been contemplated.
§ Mr. GINNELLThe right hon. Gentleman has not answered that part of the question asking how Mrs. Scott was enabled by British credentials—not American—to travel about in this manner?
§ Sir E. GREYI understand she was at one time associated with the American Relief Committee, and I suppose it was in that capacity she was given facilities.
