§ 39. Mr. STEWARTasked if there are any clerks of German or Austrian nationality in the War Office, Admiralty, Home Office, or Treasury who are not naturalised or who have been naturalised within the last year, or who have changed their names since the War began?
§ Mr. MONTAGUI can only answer for the Treasury. There are no clerks of German or Austrian nationality employed in that Department. One British-born clerk, who had a name of Teutonic origin, has changed it since the outbreak of War.
§ Mr. STEWARTThe answer does not cover the other Departments?
§ Mr. MONTAGUNo; I can only answer for my own Department. The hon. Member must address his question to the Minister responsible.
§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that people cannot change their names since the outbreak of the War?
§ Mr. MONTAGUNo; I am not aware of that.
