§ 67. Mr. LIDDALL (for Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKE)asked the Home Secretary if he will have inquiries made into the case of Mr. Patrick Grazado, who served with the British forces from 1915 to 1919 and subsequently went to Canada and the United States, from whence he was deported on 7th May, 1930, not being a naturalised subject, and has now been ordered by the Home Office to leave this country by the 22nd December; and whether, in view of the fact that Mrs. Grazado in America has applied to the Minister of Labour, Washington, for permission for her husband to enter America, he will postpone this man's deportation until the decision of the Minister of Labour at Washington is known?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThis Italian subject came to this country from Italy in May last and was allowed to land on his express statement that he was only coming to visit relatives and that his visit would not extend beyond two months. He was subsequently discovered to have settled down in South Shields and started a barber's business. On the 13th September last he was convicted at South Shields Petty Sessional Court of contravening the Aliens Order and recommended by the court for deportation. A Deportation Order was made on the 7th October and successive extensions of time have been 1089 granted to him to enable him to apply to the American authorities to be allowed to join his wife in the United States. Ample time has been allowed for this purpose, and as he has not succeeded in his effort, he must now return to Italy.
