HC Deb 03 April 1930 vol 237 cc1437-8
28. Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he can now give the House the result of his inquiries as to whether any of the discharged employés of Arcos, Limited, being Russian subjects, are still upon the British labour market?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Clynes)

Inquiries are in progress, but I regret I am not yet in a position to furnish a reply to the hon. Member's question.

Mr. SMITHERS

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that I have put this question down two or three times, at intervals of a week or a fortnight, and when can he give us any hope that some answer will be given?

Mr. CLYNES

I can only tell my hon. Friend that both of us are persevering to get the information.
