HC Deb 26 November 1917 vol 99 c1641
59. Mr. G. FABER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has reason to think that German financiers are carrying on business in this country through neutral banks or neutral businesses here; and whether the Government possess sufficient powers to deal with such cases, if they can be detected?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I do not find any trace of German financiers carrying on business in this country through neutral banks or businesses. If my hon. Friend has any evidence on the point, I shall be glad to have it. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
