HC Deb 31 July 1918 vol 109 c447W
Sir R. COOPER

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if Mr. Emil Garcke holds a dominating position in electric tramway transport and Allied industries; was he born in Germany of German parents; can he say when he was naturalised; has inquiry been made as to whether Mr. Garcke was financially interested before the War in similar or Allied industries in enemy countries; if so, has he in any way abandoned those interests; and to whom have they been transferred?

Sir G. CAVE

A certificate of naturalisation was granted on the 17th March, 1880, to Mr. Emil Oscar Garcke, who stated that he was a natural-born subject of the Empire of Germany. I have no information as to the other parts of the question.
