§ Brigadier-General CROFTasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the fact that Englishmen seeking employment as waiters in certain London hotels have been informed that no British waiters are employed; and 1753W whether, in view of the probability of increasing unemployment pending completion of reconstruction, he can see his way to embody proposals in the Aliens Bill which will prevent the immigration into this country of further cheap alien labour which deprives British workers of their livelihood?
§ Mr. SHORTTI have no information to the effect suggested in the first paragraph of the question. There is at the present time no such immigration of aliens into the United Kingdom as is indicated in the second paragraph, and the powers for which I propose to ask Parliament will, I hope, enable all due safeguards in this matter to be provided.
