§ 51. Colonel YATEasked the Prime Minister if he will take steps to secure that all interned enemy aliens shall be deported on the termination of hostilities in order that our disbanded soldiers and sailors may not be exposed to undue competition in seeking re-employment at the end of the War?
Mr. SAMUELThe Prime Minister has asked me to answer this question. The consideration suggested is one of the many connected with the wide question of the treatment of enemy aliens in this country at the end of the War, which, as I stated in answer to a question on the 29th June is engaging the attention of the Government. I cannot make any statement on the point at present.
§ Colonel YATEIs the consideration now being given to the question an official or a genuine consideration?
