§ Sir G. Foxasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether his attention has been called to a case before the courts where the defendant was the German wife of a sergeant in the Royal Air Force, the sister-in-law of a staff officer serving in the German High Command, and employed in a domestic post by a senior naval officer engaged on important work for the Admiralty; and whether, in view of disclosures of this nature, he will satisfy himself that the progress made in preventing naval officers from employing alien servants is being accelerated?
Mr. AlexanderInstructions have been issued prohibiting the employment of aliens of enemy origin by naval and civil officers serving under the Admiralty: other aliens may not be employed without permission. The person my hon. Friend refers to is a British subject of enemy origin.
