§ 19. Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that owing to mistaken or misunderstood public utterances certain aliens, being Allied friends now in the British Army, are apprehensive that they may be deported to the countries from which they are political refugees; and whether he will give an assurance that such Allied subjects who are of good behaviour will not be transferred out of the British Army to any other authority or command?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am not aware of the matters referred to in the first part of my hon. Friend's question. I may, however, state that it is not the practice to transfer friendly aliens at present serving in the British Army to the Army of their own country in cases where the men themselves do not wish to be transferred.
§ Mr. MACPHERSONNone at all.
