HC Deb 12 December 1929 vol 233 cc641-2
34. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Home Secretary whether he can state the number of aliens who have previously been engaged in various commercial undertakings in this country and against whom criminal process has been obtained, but who owing to their continued absence from this country are able to evade such proceedings; and what steps are being taken to bring them to trial?

Mr. CLYNES

The particulars desired are not readily available and, in order that my reply may be as informative as possible, I should be glad if the right hon. Member would postpone the question.

Sir K. WOOD

Shall I put it down for Monday?

Mr. CLYNES

Tuesday.

41. Captain MACDONALD

asked the Home Secretary how many deportation orders made during the past six months his Department has been unable to enforce against persons whose last place of residence previous to entering this country was within the jurisdiction of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics?

Mr. CLYNES

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to my reply to a very similar question by the hon. Member for the Eastern Division of Willesden (Mr. D. G. Somerville) on 28th November last.
