§ 21 and 64 Mr. R. McNEILLasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Report on Naturalisation of 1082 the Committee presided over by the First Lord of the Admiralty, dated the 20th December, 1916, was submitted to the members of the Imperial War Conference when the subject of naturalisation was under their consideration; (2) if he will lay upon the Table of the House the Memorandum submitted by the Home Office to the Imperial War Conference on the subject of naturalisation referred to in the resolution of the Conference on that subject on the 18th of April, 1917?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDNo, Sir. The report in question was an unofficial document, and the Papers laid before the Conference on the question of naturalisation were prepared by the Home Office, to which Department the subject appertains.
§ Mr. McNEILLIs there any reason why this Memorandum should not be made public?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDThe Memorandum in question is published. It appears, I think, on page 151 or 156 of the Blue Book.
