§ 78. Mr. R. Morganasked the Home Secretary whether he will consider the desirability, instead of interning enemy able-bodied alien refugees, of employing 1325 them on work on the land and other tasks of a similar nature which are needed in the national emergency?
§ Sir J. AndersonAs I have already stated, tribunals have been appointed to examine the cases of all Germans and Austrians with a view to considering which of them can be exempted from internment on the ground that their sympathies are with this country rather than with the enemy; and it is proposed to make use of the help of friendly aliens in any direction in which their assistance will be advantageous to this country and can be utilised without interfering with the interests of British subjects.
