HC Deb 01 July 1915 vol 72 cc1940-1
68. Mr. FELL

asked the Secretary of State for India if he will consider the advisability of deporting all the missionaries of German or hostile nationality from India at the earliest date possible and taking the necessary steps to prevent their return there at any time in the future?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The whole question of the treatment of enemy aliens in India is receiving very careful consideration. I have already described, in answer to questions in this House, the general nature of the steps which have already been taken. I am now awaiting a report from India, and I can make no further announcement till it has been received.
