HC Deb 22 December 1915 vol 77 c471
58. Sir E. CORNWALL

asked the Under-Secretary for War how many persons have, since the start of the War, been tried for espionage, how many have been condemned, and how many acquitted; and what have been the nationalities of the accused?

Mr. TENNANT

It would not, I am afraid, be in the public interest to give this information.

Sir A. MARKHAM

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any Germans who have been naturalised have been condemned, including those who are Privy Councillors?
