§ 19. Mr. Henry Usborneasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why it is still necessary for British subjects to fill in Registration Form AR-E when they stay in hotels, inns or lodging-houses. &c.
§ Mr. EdeThe requirement ceased to apply to British subjects nearly a year ago. A British subject need only enter his name, nationality and date of arrival in the hotel register.
§ Mr. UsborneWill the Home Secretary take pains to see that lodging-house keepers know this because a great many of them expect their residents to fill in this form?
§ Mr. EdeHotel keepers have tried to get me to fill in the form and I have refused to do it. I advise other people who are asked to fill in the form to do the same thing.
