HC Deb 23 November 1916 vol 87 cc1582-3
89. Sir H. DALZIEL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give the names of the firms who still supply goods to Herr Schumacher, of Aldersgate Street; whether he can give the name of the British firm in the City that buys most of the goods Schumacher sells; and whether, as stated in a recent tribunal case, Schumacher is to be sent back to Germany?

Mr. PRETYMAN

The Reports obtained from our inspectors in such cases are regarded as confidential, and I regret that I cannot therefore give the information asked for, but I may say that the goods sold by Messrs. Schumacher and Broecker are practically all supplied by firms in Italy and Switzerland. I have no information as to the latter part of the question.
