HC Deb 19 May 1915 vol 71 c2349W
Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the proprietor of the Queen's Hotel, Queenstown, overlooking the harbour and the Navy anchorage, is a German and cannot speak English properly; and whether, having regard to the presence of enemy submarines off Queenstown, he will take immediate steps to have this German removed?

Dr MACNAMARA

A German, naturalised in 1905, has for some years managed the Queen's Hotel, Queenstown. His wife is English. He has been under supervision since the outbreak of war, but up to the present there has been nothing against him. Nevertheless the suggestion contained in the closing part of the question will be considered.
