§ 6. Mr. Dayasked the Prime Minister particulars of the number of British subjects who have been repatriated to Great Britain or Northern Ireland from the United States of America during the previous three years; and how many of them had previously become destitute?
§ Mr. ButlerI regret that the particulars desired by the hon. Member are not readily available. British subjects are only repatriated at the cost of public funds if they are destitute.
§ Mr. DayHas the hon. Gentleman received reports of British subjects having received worse treatment than the subjects of some of the other nations?
§ Mr. ButlerNo, Sir, I have not received any such report.
