§ 73. Sir W. BYLESasked the Home Secretary whether the decision of the Government, recently announced, that men of Allied nationality must either join the British Army or be deported to their own country is irrevocable, or will it need the sanction of Parliament; can he give any estimate of the existing number of Russian Jews who have sought asylum in this country because they are denied religious and political rights in their own; and is he aware that there are hundreds of such men in Manchester and Salford, most of whom have settled there to enjoy freedom of conscience?
Mr. SAMUELI would refer the hon. Member to the answers I gave yesterday on this subject. I have no information that would enable me to give an estimate of numbers such as is asked for in the second part of the question.
§ Mr. WHITEHOUSEIs legislative sanction required for the deportation of these people?
