§ 68. Captain FAIRFAXasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs precisely the effect of the relaxations which have been made in the treatment of British immigrants at Ellis Island; and whether they were arrived at as the result of representations by His Majesty's Government?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI am not aware that any relaxations have been made in the treatment of immigrants at Ellis Island; my hon. Friend may perhaps have in mind an arrangement which was made about a year ago at the suggestion of the United States Government by which emigrants from this country to the United States are medically examined by United States officials at the port of departure.
