HC Deb 09 April 1919 vol 114 cc2018-9
40. Sir HERBERT NIELD

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to state what are the enactments or other legislative or administrative measures passed by the governments of Allied countries since the War commenced, prohibiting and/or regulating the immigration of subjects of enemy countries; and when he expects to be in a position to give such information to the House?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I have assumed that the hon. Member desires to obtain information as to the legislation, if any, passed in Allied countries to regulate the immigration of subjects of enemy countries after the War, and I have sent out a circular asking for such information. There will necessarily be some delay before the answers come in from the different parts of the world concerned and I cannot name any date on which I shall be able to convey it to the hon. Member, but there will be no avoidable delay.

Forward to
