48. Mr. A. RICHARDSONasked the Prime Minister whether the Government will undertake that no naturalised British subject of German birth interned in Germany and Holland shall be repatriated to this country during the War?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWNo, Sir. There is no power to exclude a British subject from this country, but if any naturalised person of German birth is suspected of being dangerous there is power to deal with him when he comes here.
Mr. RICHARDSONMay I ask my right hon. Friend whether he will undertake that none of these naturalised British subjects of German birth shall be repatriated voluntarily to this country under any arrangement made at The Hague?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI am afraid I could not give that undertaking. The whole arrangement might break down if we insisted upon one particular thing like that.
