HC Deb 15 November 1939 vol 353 c693
25. Mr. Creech Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what persons have been detained in each Dependency since the war under the Emergency Regulations or Orders; what are the reasons for detention; and whether any of such persons are associated with popular movements of social, political, and industrial improvement?

Mr. M. MacDonald

Apart from persons of enemy origin or association who have been interned, I am not aware of any case of a person detained under these regulations or orders other than the one referred to in question No. 26. I am asking the Governors to keep me informed of such detentions.
