HC Deb 10 March 1924 vol 170 cc1893-4
18. Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the new regulations that have been issued by the American Government with regard to the landing of all second-class alien passengers at Ellis Island instead of at the piers as heretofore, and with regard to the examination of first-class passengers only before 7.30 in the evening; and whether friendly representations are being made to the Government of the United States of America on these matters?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have no information regarding such new regulations beyond what has appeared in the Press, but His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington has been requested to furnish a report.
