HC Deb 18 May 1916 vol 82 cc1648-9
62. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that Dr. Ethe, an unnaturalised German professor at the Welsh University, Aberystwyth, has recently been voted an annuity of £150 a year in the shape of retiring pension, in spite of the protest of the Aberystwyth Town Council; and what steps he proposes to take to prevent Government money being used for such a purpose?

Mr. McKENNA

I have no information on this subject, but I will make inquiry through the Advisory Committee on Grants to Universities and Colleges.
