§ 14. Mr. OUTHWAITEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Right Reverend Herbert Bury has just left England on a visit to British prisoners at Ruhleben; and, if so, will he state the circumstances under which this gentleman has been permitted to go to Germany and enter into communication with the enemy?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; the object of Bishop Bury's visit, which has received the previous sanction of His Majesty's Government, is, as the hon. Member states, to visit the British prisoners of war at Ruhleben and not to enter into communication with the enemy.
§ Mr. OUTHWAITEIs it not possible on this visit to enter into communication with the enemy, and is not that precisely what Miss Hobhouse has been condemned for?
