HC Deb 30 July 1918 vol 109 c248W
Sir R. COOPER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is revising the Regulations under which persons are allowed to visit or leave all ships when in British ports?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The Regulations governing the visiting or leaving ships in British ports cover so much ground under very different conditions that it cannot be said that they are all being revised, but they are constantly being strengthened, especially in regard to aliens and undesirable persons. The whole subject of control of personnel of shipping at shipping centres is continually engaging the attention of the authorities, not only at the Admiraly, but also at the War Office and Home Office.
