HC Deb 19 February 1919 vol 112 cc932-3
55. Colonel BURN

asked the Prime Minister if he can inform the House as to the arraignment of the Kaiser; and what steps are being taken to bring to justice the commandants of those camps where British prisoners of war were brutally treated and the known murderers of Edith Cavell and Captain Fryatt?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I cannot add anything to previous statements, in which this subject has been very fully dealt with.

Colonel LOWTHER

Has the Government a list of the chief criminals?

Mr. BONAR LAW

A list has been laid before the Government and is now in out possession.

Colonel BURN

Knowing the very keen interest taken in this particular matter, can the right hon. Gentleman not give us some fuller information at an early date?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I really cannot promise that. My hon. Friend will remember that the Prime Minister dealt very fully with this subject in his speech, and of course our action must be taken in conjunction with our Allies.

Mr. J. JONES (Silvertown)

Can the right hon. Gentleman provide a list of Members who were personal friends of the Kaiser in 1914?

Mr. SPEAKER

These personal allusions are very offensive, and I hope hon. Members will not indulge in them—retorts are so easy.
