HC Deb 05 April 1938 vol 334 c184
36. Mr. Mander

asked the Home Secretary whether aliens landing in this country for the purpose of taking employment in specific jobs have to obtain a fresh permit alternatively to leaving the country if they do not, in fact, take up or if they abandon such jobs?

Mr. Lloyd

An alien who is admitted to this country under a Ministry of Labour permit for a particular post is not at liberty to take another post without authority.

Mr. Mander

What steps are being taken by the Home Office to ascertain whether the regulations are being complied with?

Mr. Lloyd

The normal machinery of the Home Office and of the police takes care that aliens are not contravening the law.

Mr. Mander

Is the hon. Gentleman satisfied that the regulations are being complied with, and will he be good enough to look into any case to which I might draw his attention?

Mr. Lloyd

Certainly, I would look into any question which the hon. Gentleman brought to my notice.
