§ MR. GROTRIAN (Hull, E.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he is aware that another body of Greek gipsies are encamped in Hull; and whether, having regard to the fact that these people are in a destitute condition, are likely to become a serious burden to the inhabitants and ratepayers, and that their sanitary condition leaves much to be desired, he will take some steps to deal with this matter in the interests of the country generally?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)I have had no information respecting the arrival of the Greek gipsies at Hull; and I am afraid the law of this country affords very imperfect protection against the 1270 landing of destitute and insanitary aliens.
