HC Deb 01 August 1916 vol 85 c17
49. Mr. KING

asked the Home Secretary whether he can hold out to allied aliens of military age the prospect of immediate naturalisation on their offering themselves for enlistment in the British Army?

Mr. SAMUEL

I hope to be able within a few days to make a further statement on the conditions of enlistment into the British Army, and of naturalisation when enlisted, of Russian subjects resident in the United Kingdom.

Mr. KING

Will it be made in such a form, as on the introduction of a Bill, that it may be discussed in this House?

Mr. SAMUEL

No legislation is necessary.
