§ Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he can give any information concerning the enlistment of men of friendly or allied nationality; whether they are posted to the old units or are formed into new and separate units; whether they will receive the pay, separation allowances, pensions, and other payments given to British subjects; and how many aliens have enlisted in the British Army down to the latest date for which figures are available?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe particulars as to enlistment of friendly aliens are contained in a Paper, of which I will send my hon. Friend a copy. These men will be posted to units of their selection if vacancies exist, and will receive the same pay and emoluments as other men of the arm in which they are serving. No return of the number of aliens who have been enlisted under this Instruction has yet been received.
