HC Deb 12 May 1924 vol 173 cc910-1
81. Mr. A. SOMERVILLE

asked the Home Secretary whether any aliens who were refused admittance to this country last year have been admitted this year; and, if so, how many?

Mr. DAVIES

A few aliens may have been admitted this year who were refused last year on grounds which are no longer valid, but I have no specific case in mind.

Lieut.-Colonel LAMBERT WARD

Can the hon. Member give us the number of aliens who come within that category?

Mr. DAVIES

The figures are not kept on that basis; they are made out quarterly.

Sir C. YATE

Can the hon. Member say what grounds are valid and what are not valid?
