§ 40. Mr. GILBERTasked the Secretary of State for War how many interned alien enemies in this country are now being employed on any national or remunerative work; and if he will state why all able-bodied interned alien enemies should not be empolyed on some work of a public character instead of remaining idle in their various camps?
§ Mr. FORSTERPerhaps my hon. Friend will kindly put this question to my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary tomorrow.
§ 66. Mr. PENNEFATHERasked the Home Secretary if it is still the policy of the Government to leave at large aliens who may reasonably be suspected of being of enemy birth and who cannot conclusively prove that they are subjects of friendly or neutral countries?
Mr. SAMUELNo, Sir. The Government have never had any such policy. I would refer the hon. Member to the answers I gave him on the 20th January, 29th February, and 8th March of this year.
