HC Deb 23 November 1914 vol 68 c787
95. Mr. EVELYN CECIL

asked 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; and, if so, whether he will state his or their names and positions, and on what grounds and by whose recommendation he or they were appointed.

Mr. TENNANT

No one has been accepted who is not a British subject either by birth or naturalisation. I cannot say with certainty that no candidate has not had in addition German or Austrian nationality.
