§ 7. Mr. Dayasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that many British subjects have been repatriated from the United States of America during the past two years; whether his attention has been drawn to the fact of the constant dismissal of British subjects from employ 321 ment in the United States of America because of their nationality; and w hat general instructions have been given to His Majesty's Consuls in that country to provide facilities for dismissed men who are without resources to return to their country of origin?
§ Mr. ButlerI have no information to show that many British subjects have been repatriated or dismissed as suggested by the hon. Member. His Majesty's Consuls have standing authority to repatriate distressed British subjects in suitable cases at the public cost.
§ Mr. ButlerI have already given the hon. Member the information in my possession.
