HC Deb 16 November 1914 vol 68 c220
116. Mr. GEORGE TERRELL

asked the Postmaster-General whether any and, if any, how many of the employés in the Scottish postal and telegraph service are of German or Austrian nationality or origin, and the dates of their respective appointments?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

There are no persons of German or Austrian nationality employed in the Scottish postal and telegraph service, but there are thirty-one British subjects so employed whose parents or one or other of them were German or Austrian. The dates of their respective appointments are, for the most part, not recorded in London, and could only be furnished after inquiry in Scotland.
