§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that civil servants are being required, in an office of his Department in Bedford, to serve under a German national, who is a commissioned officer of the R.E., who would be ineligible under the nationality rules for appointment in the Civil Service; and whether, in view of this anomaly and the feelings of the staffs concerned, he will transfer this German national to another sphere.
§ Sir J. GriggMy hon. Friend is no doubt referring to a commissioned officer of the Royal Engineers who was a German national and served for some time as a Garrison Engineer at Bedford. He was transferred to another station on 18th September, and he has since left this country for service in a theatre of war overseas.
