HC Deb 07 November 1916 vol 87 c6
6. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Government has any official information of the deportation of Belgians from certain Belgian towns to Germany; if he will state how many people have been so deported; if the Belgian Government has made any protest to neutral Governments as regards this matter; and if any support has been given to such protest by the British Government?

Lord R. CECIL

His Majesty's Government have received certain unofficial information on the subject. They have no knowledge of any protest having been made, at least recently, by the Belgian Government.
