§ 25. Mr. LYNCHasked the Prime Minister whether legislation is necessary to enable German gentlemen of title who have become naturalised to convert their German titles into English titles; if so, whether the privilege will be extended so as to allow free interchange of surnames in the cases of Germans well disposed to this country; and whether, if it be found that the principle would apply in the case of any Germans now interned, they will be restored to liberty?
§ Sir G. CAVEThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; other parts, therefore, do not arise.
§ Mr. LYNCHWhy should these great privileges be reserved for one branch of the community and not extended to others, if they are in the public interest?
