§ 25. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to recent complaints concerning the compulsory repatriation of British citizens from Canada; whether he has made any representations to the Canadian authorities; and what has been the nature of the replies?
Mr. THOMASRepresentations reach His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom from time to time as to cases of deportation of British subjects from Canada to this country. The matter is under consideration.
§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEWill the matters referred to here come under the purview of the Royal Commission to which the right hon. Gentleman referred?
Mr. THOMASBut this is a Canadian question. I am sure my hon. Friend will have observed the very strong position taken up by the Dominion Premiers regarding their own interests in their own countries first.
