15. Lieut.-Commander BOWER

asked the Minister of Labour the number of foreign domestic servants who entered this country during the year 1932?

Sir H. BETTERTON

The number of aliens who were given permission during 1932 to take up employment in this country as domestic servants was 3,132.

Lieut.-Commander BOWER

Having regard to the fact that employers of British men servants are taxed, does not the right hon. Gentleman think that the employers of these foreigners might also contribute to the Exchequer?

Sir H. BETTERTON

That is a matter for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, not for me.
