HC Deb 06 March 1919 vol 113 c645W
Major KELLEY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, seeing the cost of the War is only £1,000,000 per day less than when we were at war, he will take into immediate consideration the sending back of all interned civilian enemy aliens, thus reducing the heavy cost of the guard over them, and liberating a larger amount of food eaten by these enemy aliens for our own people?

Mr. SHORTT

I have been asked to answer this question. As I have already stated several times in answer to questions, interned civilian enemy aliens are being repatriated as fast as shipping facilities will permit. Upwards of 10,500 have been repatriated since the Armistice was signed.
