§ 22. Major HUNTasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that aliens from Italy are being allowed passports to come into and to stay in this country, whilst the French Government, though allowing these same men to travel through France, have refused to allow them to stay in that country; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?
§ Sir G. CAVEI am not aware of any practice of the kind suggested in the question, but if the hon. and gallant Member will give me particulars of any case I will have inquiries made.
§ Major HUNTIs it not a fact that these aliens who are coming into this country have been prevented from stopping in France by the French Government?
§ Sir G. CAVEI am not sure of that. I understand that they have been allowed to go through.
§ Major HUNTThey may pass through France but they are not allowed to stop there, and why should they be allowed to stop in this country?
§ Sir G. CAVEThat is the effect, of course, of the passport.
