§ 55. Mr. KINGasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that, on aliens becoming naturalised in this country, they 2310 are declared entitled to the rights, powers, and privileges of natural-born British subjects, it will be requisite to initiate legislation before British subjects who were originally aliens can be subjected to the inquiry as to their loyalty which is part of the policy adopted by the Government?
§ Mr. McKENNAIn proper cases such an inquiry can be made without special legislation.
§ Sir J. D. REESMay I ask whether any British can alter the fact that the German Government does not recognise the renouncing of allegiance by Germans?
§ Mr. McKENNAI think the hon. Member has in mind rather a different question.
