§ 74. Major HUNTasked the Home Secretary the number of enemy aliens interned and not interned now residing on the East and South-East coast of England and if even interned aliens get leave to go out into the country; and if he will consider the advisability of moving all these people to another locality where they would have less chance of assisting the enemy?
§ Sir G. CAVEAlien enemies are not interned on the East or South-East coasts. As regards the conditions under which certain persons of enemy nationality are 2112 residing in the coastal areas, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for the Brentford Division on the 3rd May.
§ 75. Major HUNTasked the Home Secretary whether, seeing that people of British nationality, whether naturalised or unnaturalised, are not allowed to be at liberty in Germany, he can say why so many thousands of unnaturalised enemy aliens and naturalised aliens of enemy origin are still allowed to be at liberty in this country; and if he will consider the advisability of altering this condition of affairs with a view to avoiding anti-alien riots in this country?
§ Sir G. CAVEIf the hon. and gallant Member means that in Germany all British subjects and persons of British origin naturalised as Germans have been interned, my information is that such is not the case. As regards the rest of his question, I would refer to the many previous answers on this subject and to my statement in the Debate on 14th February.
§ Major HUNTIs it a fact that almost every single British subject in Germany is interned, or, at any rate, not at liberty?
§ Sir G. CAVEI can only speak from information given to me, and from that information I believe that that is not the fact.
