HC Deb 03 March 1910 vol 14 cc959-60
Mr. RENDALL

asked whether, having regard to Section 7 of The Naturalisation Act, 1870, there was any treaty between this country and Russia which protected a native of Russian-Poland who had been duly naturalised in this country from being treated as a Russian subject, should he return to his native country?

Sir E. GREY

The reply is in the negative.

Mr. RENDALL

Can the right hon. Gentleman tell me whether a Russian subject naturalised in this country would, on returning to Russia, be liable to military service?

Sir E. GREY

I imagine, if I understand the case rightly, that any Russian who was originally a Russian subject, and is now naturalised in this country, would, when he returns to Russia, be still treated as a Russian subject, and therefore would be under all the obligations of a Russian subject.
