§ 65. Mr. WATTasked whether Germans who have been ordered from East Coast towns because of the chief constables reporting them as dangerous there, may now come to London to live and daily take part in the business of the City with impunity, in the same way as E. A. Meyer, who was ordered out of Westcliff-on-Sea and who immediately sought refuge in London and daily attends an office of German stockbrokers in Throgmorton Street; and will he say why espionage is possible in seaport towns where it is impossible in London?
§ Sir G. CAVEI have nothing to add to the answers which I gave on the 24th April with regard to the case of E. A. Mcyer, a naturalised British subject. It is obvious that restrictions which are desirable in seaport towns do not necessarily apply to London.
§ Mr. WATTAre we to understand that German refugees from seaport towns are coming to London in any number?
§ Sir G. CAVEThe hon. Gentleman knows that that is not so. This man is a British subject.
