§ 68. Major Sir E. COATESasked the Home Secretary whether he will issue a list of all the Germans, Austrians, and Hungarians naturalised since the 1st August, 1914, together with the names of their sponsors?
§ Sir G. CAVEExcluding British-born women readmitted to British nationality, no Germans, Austrians or Hungarians have been naturalised since November, 1916, and I do not propose to naturalise any such persons during the War. The names of those natrualised before that date were published monthly in the " London Gazette," and are given in the Annual Returns presented to Parliament. It is not the practice to publish the names of the persons who support an application for naturalisation, and I do not think it desirable to alter the practice.
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELWere not none naturalised during 1916?
§ Sir G. CAVEIf the right hon. Gentleman says that, I accept it, of course, but I have not looked into it.
