§ 28. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Home Secretary how many alien enemies have been released from internment since the Armistice, and why they were so released?
§ Mr. SHORTTOne hundred and eighteen persons interned as alien enemies have been released since the Armistice was signed, of whom more than two-thirds were released on being duly recognised as Czecho-Slovaks, and, therefore, ceasing to be enemies, and the remainder had been interned merely pending further consideration of their cases by the Advisory Committee, who eventually recommended exemption from internment.
