§ MR. H. LAWSON (Tower Hamlets, Mile End)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the words "prosecution for an offence of a political character" in Clause 1, Subsection 3, of the Aliens Bill, covers prosecution for an offence of a religious character.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers-Douglas.) As the Bill is worded, the Answer to this Question would depend on the facts of each individual case; but whether further definition is necessary is a question that can be discussed on the Amendments already on the Paper.
