§ 67. Mr. FORRESTasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if lie has yet decided on any policy with regard to the readmission of enemy aliens into the Crown Colonies; and whether the same rules and regulations as here will govern their readmission to territory of which we are now the mandatory Power?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Colonel Amery)It has been decided that any former enemy alien seeking admission or readmission to a Colony or Protectorate must have a permit signed by the Colonial Secretary or other corresponding officer of the Colony or Protectorate which he wishes to enter before he can be granted admission, and legislation to this effect has been passed in all the Colonies and Protectorates. The legislation is limited to a term of three years, at the end of which time the whole matter can be reconsidered. It has been decided to apply the same policy with regard to the admission of former enemy aliens to the Mandated territory of which the Imperial Government has been given the Mandate.
