HC Deb 03 July 1930 vol 240 c2130
31. Sir A. POWNALL

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he can now say what decision has been arrived at with regard to the continued stay in this country of certain former employés of Soviet organisations in this country?

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

I made a full statement on this subject in the course of the debate on the Home Office Vote on 7th May last. As a result of my subsequent inquiries I have not found any grounds for requiring the remainder of the aliens concerned to leave the country.

Sir A. POWNALL

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how many aliens this affects?

Mr. CLYNES

I think the number I gave in the course of the debate was "about 27," but there has since been a reduction.
