§ Sir N. Grattan-Doyleasked the Prime Minister whether any approach has been made by the German Government to afford facilities to German citizens resident in Great Britain to record their votes at the forthcoming plebiscite; and, if so, whether he will state the nature of the approach?
§ Mr. ButlerThe German Embassy have inquired whether there would be any objection to the procedure which it was proposed to adopt in order to enable German nationals resident in this country to vote in the plebiscite on 10th April. The proposal was that the voting should take place outside territorial waters on board a ship which would bring a party of German tourists to this country, take the voters on board, and then return to port to disembark the latter on the same day. The German Embassy have been informed that His Majesty's Government have no objection to the arrangements proposed.
