HC Deb 23 November 1914 vol 68 c759
11. Mr. EVELYN CECIL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any person or persons, by birth of German or Austrian nationality, have been given commissions in the Army or Navy since the declaration of War; if so, whether he will state his or their names and positions; and on what grounds and by whose recommendation he and they were appointed?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Questions relating to the Army should be addressed to my right hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for War. I know of no such case in the Navy.

Mr. CECIL

Or the Naval Brigade?

Mr. CHURCHILL
