Mr. NEWDEGATEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in face of the amount of unemployment in this country, he will consider the feasibility of putting a tax on every person of foreign extraction employed in the United Kingdom who has not become a naturalised British subject?

Mr. NEWDEGATEIs the hon. Gentleman aware that there are a large number of these people employed in this country at the present moment?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI do not think I am.
