HC Deb 28 June 1916 vol 83 c867W
Major HUNT

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that Mr. Max Kuhn, a German, was chairman of the German Emperor's reception committee during his last visit; that Mr. Kuhn is the chief of the London and International Window Cleaning Company; that his house is a mansion with a turret on the west side of Hampstead Heath and overlooks a large stretch of country; and whether, as naturalised Germans are so very rarely to be trusted, he will take steps to have this man interned?

Mr. SAMUEL

I have no information as regards the first part of the question. As regards the second and third, I understand that the facts are as stated. Mr. Kuhn is a naturalised British subject, and I am not aware of any sufficient ground for the action suggested by the hon. and gallant Member.
