Clause 9, page 5, line 11, leave out from ("Kingdom") to the end of subsection (1) and insert ("and to whom this section applies shall be deported forthwith unless the Secretary of State on the recommendation of the advisory committee, to be constituted under this section, shall grant him a licence to remain").

Page 5, line 23, after ("the") insert (''said") and leave out ("hereinafter mentioned"). The Commons disagree with these Amendments, but propose the following Amendment in lies thereof ("shall be deported forthwith unless he shall within two months after the passing of this Act make an application to the Secretary of State in the prescribed form to be allowed to remain in the United Kingdom, stating the grounds on which such application is based, and unless the Secretary of State shall grant him a licence to remain: Provided that this subsection shall not apply to such former enemy aliens as were exempted front internment or repatriation on the recommendation of any advisory committee appointed after the first day of January, one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, and before the passing of this Act, or to the wife or to the children under eighteen years of age of any such alien").
