HC Deb 12 July 1915 vol 73 cc636-7
5. Mr. RONALD McNEILL

asked the Home Secretary how many alien enemies and how many persons of hostile origin or association have been interned or repatriated in the past week?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir John Simon)

The number interned during the past week is 1,140 and the number repatriated is 573.

8. Sir EDWIN CORNWALL

asked how many naturalised Germans are now resident in the British Isles?

Sir J. SIMON

The only figures available are those of the last Census, from which it appears that in England and Wales there were 4,530 males and 1,912 females of German birth who had been naturalised, and in Scotland 245 males and 149 females. The Census reports for Ireland do not give similar figures.
