HC Deb 06 August 1940 vol 364 c32
51. Mr. Wedgwood

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give time for the discussion of the Motion on the Paper concerning the White Paper and Refugees, in the name of the hon. Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme?

[That, in the opinion of this House, the White Paper issued by the Home Secretary giving the categories under which so-called enemy aliens may be set free is entirely unsatisfactory in that it will leave most of those who have the greatest reason to oppose Hitler interned, and that it is based on the utility of the internee and not on his or her innocence.]

Mr. Attlee

No, Sir. I do not consider that any useful purpose would be served at present by discussion of the Motion standing in the name of my right hon. Friend.
