HC Deb 08 November 1906 vol 164 cc745-6
MR. KEIR HARDIE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it has been reported to him that M. Max Nettlau was refused permission to land in this country because he refused to undergo a medical examination under the terms of the Aliens Act; whether he is aware that Dr. Nettlau is a Doctor of Philosophy who for twenty years past has paid an annual visit to this country for the purpose of studying at the British Museum; and whether he will give instructions to prevent a recurrence of such an incident.

MR. GLADSTONE

I have this matter under my consideration, and I shall be glad if the hon. Member will post-pone his Question for a few days.

*MR. BYLES (Salford, N.)

Is it not possible to introduce a Bill to repeal this inhospitable and un-English Act?
