§ 13. Mr. WATTasked the Secretary for Scotland how often the Advisory Committee for Scotland dealing with the internment and repatriation of alien enemies has sat, and with how many cases it has dealt; and how do these figures compare with the similar Committee's work dealing with England and Wales?
Mr. McKINNON WOODComparisons would be misleading, as the circumstances are different. Much preparatory work has been done. I am informed that the Committee sits in Edinburgh to-day.
§ Mr. WATTWill the right hon. Gentleman explain why Scotland is far behind in this matter, seeing that the English Committee have sat fifteen times and have dealt with 2,500 cases?
§ Mr. HOGGEAre naturalised British subjects in Scotland who have been removed from military areas without any reason being given to them, entitled to appeal to this Court?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI do not think there is any appeal when the naval and military authorities consider that anyone, whether alien or British subject, should be removed from a district.
