§ 33. Mr. WATTasked the Secretary for Scotland whether any arrangement has been made by which the Committee of Inquiry to be set up under Clause 1, Sub-section (3), of the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Bill will continue the arrangement for Scotland whereby a Special Committee for that country, under a president of high judicial Scottish experience, will act as was the case in dealing formerly with aliens?
§ Mr. BRACEMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. Naturalisation being an Imperial matter, it is thought better that questions of denaturalisation should be dealt with by one Committee for the whole of the United Kingdom. The claims of Scotland to be represented on that Committee will not be forgotten.
§ Mr. WATTIs there any reason why the old system that formerly obtained should be done away with, and did not the two Committee system give satisfaction?
