HC Deb 11 February 1941 vol 368 cc1214-5
28. Mr. G. Strauss

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make representations to the Canadian Government to remove elsewhere the anti-Fascist Italians in S camp, in view of the fact that the great majority of internees in this camp are Fascists?

The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Peake)

I have no knowledge that the majority of the internees in this camp are Fascists, and I shall be glad if my hon. Friend will furnish me with the information which he has to this effect.

29. Mr. G. Strauss

asked the Home Secretary whether he will make representations to the Canadian Government with a view to a reorganisation of Camp R for aliens sent to Canada from this country, in view of the fact that there are approximately 1,000 Nazi seamen in this camp and 100 Jewish refugees, and that a promise was given by the commander of the camp in September that the refugees would be sent elsewhere?

Mr. Peake

I would refer my hon. Friend to the first part of the reply which I gave to my right hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Mr. Wedgwood) on 28th January.
