29. Mr. BILLING

asked the Home Secretary whether he has power under the Defence of the Realm Act to prevent aliens of enemy and other extraction from addressing public meetings in this country during the cont nuance of the War?

Sir G. CAVE

I have no general power of the kind suggested, but I am considering whether the power should not be taken to prohibit an alien from addressing public meetings during the War.
