HC Deb 21 February 1918 vol 103 c913
45. Mr. LYNCH

asked the Prime Minister whether he will place in the Library of the House a Memorandum showing how many persons born in Germany but related to the Royal Family by marriage or otherwise are living in this country, what sums of money are being paid to them, citing the cases separately, by the British Treasury and the nature of the services rendered as consideration for such payment, the names of all those of military age now actually at the front with the British forces, and the names of those who arc assisting the German Army?

The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Bonar Law)

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. LYNCH

Does not that simply mean that the Government are afraid to face the facts?
