§ Mr. KINGasked the Home Secretary whether he will give the reasons for withdrawing the dock permit of J. Hauser, of 114, Alexandra Road, Newport (Mon.); whether he is aware that J. Hauser is a Russian Pole who has lived nearly all his life in this country, and has a brother who wears the silver badge; and whether he will consider a restoration to J. Hauser of his dock permit, as it is essential to his business?
§ Sir G. CAVEI have no powers with regard to this case. I understand that, after the man had been convicted of an offence against No. 18 of the Defence of the Realm Regulations, the permit in question was withdrawn by the Dock Company in pursuance of powers conferred on them by an Order of the Ministry of Munitions under those Regulations.
