§ 31. Colonel Wedgwoodasked the Home Secretary at what date Mr. Duvivier applied for naturalisation; at what date was it granted; and who were his sponsors?
§ Sir J. AndersonThis man, who had a British-born mother and was educated in England, applied for naturalisation in October, 1931. His application was supported by four responsible persons, who were householders and natural-born British subjects and had been intimately acquainted with him for some time past. The certificate of naturalisation was dated 31st May, 1932.
§ 34. Colonel Wedgwoodasked the Home Secretary whether the two Fascists who were sentenced to six months' imprisonment will be interned at the expiration of their sentence; and whether Mr. Duvivier's naturalisation papers will be cancelled, and the man deported?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe question whether it is necessary, for security reasons, that either or both of these men should be detained under Defence Regulation 18B or subjected to any other restrictions, will be considered when their sentence of imprisonment is about to expire in the light of the circumstances then obtaining. Consideration will also be given to the points raised in the second part of the Question.
§ Colonel WedgwoodDoes the answer of the right hon. Gentleman mean that if the war is still continuing we shall be able to get rid of this individual?
§ Sir J. AndersonMy answer means that the whole matter will be taken into consideration in good time.
