HC Deb 07 July 1919 vol 117 c1371
20. Mr. ARNOLD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has any official information that American firms have acquired and are acquiring German businesses?

Sir A. GEDDES

I have no official information, but I am inclined to regard the action suggested in the question as by no means improbable not only as regards American but also British firms, and indeed firms of all Allied nationalities.
