HC Deb 19 May 1893 vol 12 c1357
COLONEL HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he has received any Reports from the Commissioners he sent some months ago on an Alien Inquiry to the United States; and if they will justify him in introducing, before the Session is too far advanced, some legislative regulation of indiscriminate alien immigration into Great Britain, having regard to the large number of our fellow-countrymen reported to be out of employment by the Trades Union correspondence with the Board of Trade?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. MUNDELLA,) Sheffield, Brightside

The Reports are in preparation and are expected next month. It is not possible yet to make any statement as to legislation.
