SIR GILBERT PARKEROn behalf of the hon. Member for Hoxton, I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many alien immigrants obtained admission to this country during the months of January and March 1906, respectively, without satisfying the immigration officer of their ability to support themselves and their dependents (if any) decently, on the ground that they were political refugees.
§ *MR. GLADSTONEI regret that with the staff at my disposal it has not been found possible to carry out a classification of the grounds on which leave to land has been given such as would be necessary in order to furnish the figures asked for.
