HC Deb 21 June 1915 vol 72 cc926-7
28. Sir J. LONSDALE

asked the Postmaster-General if any persons of alien birth or nationality are employed in post offices at Portslade, near Brighton; and if it is intended to remove from the service of the Post Office all persons who are not British-born subjects of His Majesty?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Pike Pease)

There is no person of alien birth or nationality employed at Portslade post office. The rule has been laid down that alien enemies shall not be employed in the Post Office, and where there is ground for suspicion a naturalised alien is promptly removed from office. But it is not proposed to dismiss indiscriminately all employés of alien birth who are naturalised British subjects.
