HC Deb 25 July 1918 vol 108 c1988
22. Colonel FABER

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether George yon Chauvin is a member of Siemens, electrical engineers, Woolwich, and when he was naturalised; and whether this firm have accurate cable-laying charts of the North Sea, the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir George Cave)

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given on 1st July by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade to the right hon. Member for Kirkcaldy. Mr. Chauvin's certificate of naturalisation was granted on 29th October, 1914, and will, of course, come under review if the Nationality and Status of Aliens Bill becomes law. As regards the last part of the question I have no information.

Colonel FABER

Has the right hon. Gentleman got any information about the latter part of the question?

Sir G. CAVE

I think the question should be put to one of the War Departments.
