§ Mr. JAMESONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is proposed to demand that the swords of British officers taken by the Germans at the beginning of the War should be restored; and whether steps are being taken to recover them?
§ Mr. C. HARMSWORTHThe reply is in the negative, but if the proposal receives the support of the military authorities, who alone can judge of the wishes of officers on this matter, I will bring it to the notice of the Secretary of State.
