HC Deb 13 July 1916 vol 84 c518
29. Major NEWMAN

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware of complaints of the conduct at public restaurants of interned aliens when released on parole on short leave of absence; whether he will state the Regulations under which leave of absence is granted to aliens interned at the Alexandra Palace; and whether the commandant of the camp will impress on those to whom leave of absence is given the propriety of care in their conversation when frequenting on parole places of public entertainment?

Mr. SAMUEL

No such complaints have reached me, nor, I am informed, have the Metropolitan Police heard of any. If the hon. and gallant Member will give me any specific facts I will have inquiry made.

Major NEWMAN

Can the right hon. Gentleman tell me what the arrangements are for letting these men out on parole?

Mr. SAMUEL

The Alexandra Palace is under the control of the War Office, and not under my control.
