§ Sir H. NIELDasked the Home Secretary (1) whether he is aware that a large number of persons of alien enemy birth are in this country and have registered as the subjects of neutral countries, some of whom have, as a precautionary and temporary measure, procured themselves to be naturalised in such countries; and 939W is it proposed to investigate the circumstances of these cases by the Advisory Committee and to intern all those who are unable to prove an effective and binding denaturalisation from the point of view of German law; and (2) whether he has taken any steps to scrutinise or inquire into the registrations of professed neutral aliens and, in particular, Swiss; what are the means taken to test the accuracy of the statements and whether by examination under oath; to what extent has it been found that Germans have registered as Swiss; and what has been the practice as to internment in cases where technically a Swiss domicile has been obtained though the person is otherwise German?
§ Sir G. CAVEI would refer my hon. Friend to the answers which I gave last Friday to his unstarred questions in the same terms.
