HC Deb 03 July 1905 vol 148 c774
MR. WHITLEY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce words into the Aliens Bill to prevent a person who was born in the United Kingdom from being treated as an alien immigrant if he desires to return to the United Kingdom after having been naturalised in another country.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr AKERS-DOUGLAS,) Kent, St. Augustine's

I am considering with the Attorney-General the form of an Amendment, to be inserted in Clause 8, which will prevent a person of British parentage from being treated as an alien immigrant in the circumstances to which the hon. Member refers.

MR. WHITLEY

Will the right hon. Gentleman put the Amendment down in his own name?

MR. AKERS-DOUGLAS

Yes, if as a result of consideration one is drafted.
