HC Deb 07 April 1921 vol 140 c451
76. Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Undersecretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements have been made to regulate the return of Germans to those portions 01 the British Empire under the direct administration of the Colonial Office?

Mr. AMERY

Any former enemy alien seeking admission or re-admission 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.
