HC Deb 11 July 1916 vol 84 cc194-5
32. Sir A. MARKHAM

asked whether Baron Emile d'Erlanger is a naturalised British subject; if so, what was his nationality before he became a British subject; and has he obtained a Royal licence to bear the title of baron?

Mr. SAMUEL

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. On application for naturalisation in 1891 this gentleman stated that he was the subject of no foreign State, having been released from German nationality. He was born in France of German parents. I understand that he has not obtained a Royal licence to use the title of baron, and that it is not therefore officially recognised.
