HC Deb 11 November 1919 vol 121 c227
36. Lord HENRY-CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Home Secretary whether he will state the specific charges on which Jacob Milgrom, a Polish subject who has resided in England for thirty-two years and is married to an English lady, was arrested on 31st March and deported on 8th April?

Mr. SHORTT

I am not aware that this' man is entitled to call himself a Polish subject. He was registered here as an. Austrian and was removed from this country as being an alien enemy. The rule is that alien enemies should be repatriated unless special reason can be shown to the contrary. I considered his case carefully, and could find nothing that he had done during the War and nothing in his general character that justified his being allowed to remain.
