HC Deb 20 June 1940 vol 362 c258W
Mr. Cocks

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the fact that under 11,000 Germans and Austrians have been interned out of an estimated total of 60,000, he will take measures to make a further large reduction in the number still at liberty?

Sir J. Anderson

It would not be in the public interest to disclose in advance what further measures may be in contemplation for the control of the Germans and Austrians in this country.

Captain Anstruther-Gray

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the fact that many thousands of enemy aliens are still at large, he will restrict the private telephone facilities of these persons, at least in so far as conversations in foreign languages are concerned?

Sir J. Anderson

I have this question under active consideration, in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Postmaster-General.
