§ 85. Sir ROBERT GOWERasked the Home Secretary what steps are taken to ascertain the personal character of any alien seeking to enter this country; and whether he will consider the necessity of giving instructions that such inquiries shall be of an exhaustive nature?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSIn view of the very large number of aliens who seek admission, it is, of course, impracticable to investigate the personal history and past record of each individual: but every effort is made to exclude undesirable aliens, and I am satisfied that these efforts are, on the whole, successful.
§ 86. Sir R. GOWERasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the presence in this country of two aliens, named Factor and Muchnic, respectively; whether he is aware that these aliens are of an undesirable character; whether he will state what inquiries were made to ascertain their 43 character, reputation and history prior to their being allowed to enter this country; what the result of such inquiries was and what steps he proposes to take to prevent their remaining in this country?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSUnless Factor is an alien—as to which I have no evidence—no question of his exclusion from this country arises. Muchnic was extradited last July, and steps were taken to prevent his re-admission. So far as I am aware, he has not returned; but if my hon. Friend has any evidence to the contrary, he will perhaps be good enough to communicate it to me.
