HC Deb 10 February 1938 vol 331 c1235
23. Mr. Vyvyan Adams

asked the Minister of Labour the number of permits issued by his Department to German citizens for the purpose of taking up employment with Messrs. Siemens-Schucket (Great Britain), Limited; and whether he is satisfied that in the case of such employés their work cannot be done by British subjects?

Mr. E. Brown

I am having this information extracted and will circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Adams

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that an English Jewess after 11 years' service is being dismissed by this firm at the behest of their Berlin office, and will he take powers to see that this kind of anti-Semitism is not imported into this country?

Mr. Brown

I was asked for a general statement, but if the hon. Member desires to call my attention to a particular case, perhaps he will give me the information.
