HC Deb 27 November 1917 vol 99 c1841W
Sir RICHARD COOPER

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state the steps taken by each of the self-governing Dominions to denaturalise persons of enemy blood?

Mr. LONG

As regards Canada, I would refer the hon. Baronet to the answer of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to a question by the hon. Member for the Devizes Division on the 19th instant. I am not aware of any action taken in the other self-governing Dominions, except in New Zealand, where legislation has recently been passed empowering the revocation of the naturalisation of any naturalised British subject in any case in which this is deemed advisable on grounds of public policy.

Sir R. COOPER

asked whether any of the self-governing Dominions have forbidden neutral aliens to work in munition factories?

Mr. LONG

I have no information as to any such Regulations.
