§ 47. Major NEWMANasked whether any supervision is exercised by any Government Department over the activities of the Emergency Committee for helping alien enemies; whether he is aware that in 1916 over £17,000 was subscribed, and that among the subscribers were several Members of both Houses of Parliament; and has the committee of management of the funds collected the sanction of the Government?
§ Mr. BRACEMy right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The committee in question is one established by the Society of Friends, but the Government is not in any way responsible for its activities.
