HC Deb 16 November 1908 vol 196 c870
MR. HUNT

I beg to ask the Secretary for the Home Department whether, in view of the poverty caused by the increasing want of employment, he could see his way to making more strict the administration of the Aliens Act.

MR. GLADSTONE

I am afraid the hon. Member's suggestion does not offer any effective remedy for the evils of unemployment in this country.

MR. HUNT

Is it not the fact that the importation of these aliens deprives our people of work and makes their conditions of life much harder?

* MR. SPEAKER

That is am atter for argument.
