§ Sir J. HARMOOD-BANNERasked the Secretary for the Colonies if his attention has been drawn to the Statutory Rules made under the Australian War Precautions Act on 29th January, 1916, with regard to the exclusion of naturalised persons of enemy origin from holding shares in any companies incorporated in Australia; and if he is prepared to introduce a similar Bill into the House to exclude all naturalised persons of enemy origin from holding shares in all public or private companies in this country?
Mr. RUNCIMANI have seen the Statutory Rules under the Australian War Precautions Act with regard to shares held by naturalised persons of enemy origin, but I do not propose to introduce legislation on those lines.
