HC Deb 28 April 1926 vol 194 c2030
71. Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Home Secretary whether lascars and other coloured seamen and firemen who are British citizens are expected to carry passports while carrying on their duties on board ships travelling between this country and other parts of the world?

Captain HACKING
