HC Deb 03 May 1916 vol 82 c8
4. Major ASTOR

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether British civilians who were in Germany at the outbreak of the War, and were subsequently interned, are being employed by the German Government or their agents on any form of work; and, if so, whether he will state the nature of this work, the rate of pay, hours of work, and rations given?

Lord R. CECIL

The reply to the first part of the question is in the negative; the second part does not therefore arise.
