§ 19. Sir HARRY BRITTAINasked the Home Secretary the approximate number of aliens who took up domicile in Great Britain during the year 1925?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI regret I am not in a position to give the information asked for.

§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSWe have no record here. The hon. and gallant 3entleman might ascertain the information by inquiry abroad.
