§ 60. Colonel WOODCOCKasked the Home Secretary the total number of aliens shown on the register of the Metropolis for the years 1913, 1924 and l925 and of these what were the numbers who were Russians?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe figures desired for the end of the years 1924 and 1925 were given by me in answer to the hon. and gallant Member for the Fareham Division on the 8th of this month. There was no similar system of the registration of aliens in this country before the War.
§ Colonel WOODCOCKCan the right hon. Gentleman state whether the persons now on the aliens list are likely to become permanent?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThat would involve tremendous investigations. Perhaps the hon. and gallant Member will put down another question.
