§ Sir R. COOPERasked the Home Secretary if a man of German origin named Theis controlled a bakery business at 90, Harrow Road, London, before the War; is this business now run under the name of Davies; is Theis still in charge of it; and when was he naturalised?
§ Sir G. CAVEThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Theis has lived in this country for forty-five years and was naturalised in 1900. In 1916 he became an invalid, and the business was taken over by the youngest of his four British-born sons, who in 1917 changed his name to Davies. Of the remaining sons two are serving in the British Army at the front, and the third has been rejected as medically unfit.
