HC Deb 16 August 1916 vol 85 cc1864-5
96. Mr. GWYNNE

asked whether at the present time any firm of alien origin can change their name and trade under an English name without permission or consent from the Board of Trade or any other Department?

Mr. HARCOURT

The Aliens Restriction (Change of Name) Order, 1914, prohibits absolutely any such action on the part of an alien enemy, but there is ho such restriction in the case of an alien not an enemy.
