HC Deb 28 March 1917 vol 92 cc424-5
65. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the number of neutrals and their nationality residing in this country on 28th February this year; and can he say how many of the males are of military age?

Sir G. CAVE

The latest figures available show that there are about 52,000 aliens of neutral nationality residing in this country, of whom 43,000 are males and 9,000 females. If the hon. Member desires to have the figures of any par- ticular nationality I shall be happy to furnish them; but I am unable to state how many of the males are of military age.
