asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to a recent decision of the Court of Appeal relative to the retention of membership of the Privy Council by naturalised aliens of enemy birth; and whether, before the Adjournment of the House, the Government intend to introduce legislation to remove from the list of His Majesty's Privy Council all members who are not natural-born British subjects?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and the answer to the second part is in the negative.
