§ 52. Sir WILLIAM DAVISONasked the Home Secretary what were the total numbers of aliens recommended for deportation by magistrates or Judges during the past three years; whether the recommendations were carried into effect in all cases; and, if not, in how many cases wer3 they not carried into effect?
§ Sir W. J0YNS0N-HICKSDuring the three years 1925–27, 797 aliens on conviction were recommended for deportation. In 573 cases deportation orders were made and enforced. Of the remaining 224 cases, in 11 the recommendation was quashed, 42 aliens left the country without the necessity of deportation orders, 17 were found on investigation to be British subjects and 10 are still serving sentences. In 129 cases the nationality of the alien and therefore the country to which he could be sent could not be established. The balance of 15 is made up of cases in which the alien died, or became insane or in which it was decided, on good cause being shown to me, not to deport.
