HC Deb 10 June 1920 vol 130 cc650-1W
Lieut.-Colonel CROFT

asked the Home Secretary whether Goetz Mertens, a German officer, has recently become naturalised as a British subject, and whether he is resident in South-West Africa?

Mr. SHORTT

Goetz Mertens has not been naturalised in the United Kingdom. I have no responsibility as regards the naturalisation of individuals outside the United Kingdom, and no information as Goetz Mertens' whereabouts.
