HC Deb 10 February 1938 vol 331 c1237
60. Sir C. Cayzer

asked the Home Secretary how many orders for deportation under the Aliens Act were issued in 1937; in how many of these cases the orders were actually executed; and how many of the persons concerned have been known since to return or try to return to this country?

Sir S. Hoare

191 Deportation Orders were made in 1937. In 173 cases the aliens left the country under arrangements made by themselves or on their behalf. In six other cases arrangements for deportation are being made. In 11 cases deportation could not be enforced because the nationality of the person could not be established. In the remaining case the alien has had to be removed to a mental hospital. There is no record of any of the deported aliens having re-entered the country, and without an examination of the personal files it is not possible to say whether any of them has attempted to return and been refused leave to land at a port.
