HC Deb 13 March 1922 vol 151 cc1812-3W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Home Secretary why a British visa or permission to land in England has been refused to the American citizen Max Eastman?

Mr. SHORTT

On the information before me I decided that this man is an alien whom it is not desirable to have in this country at the present time.

Mr. G. BARNES

asked the Home Secretary if the application for naturalisation of Charles Yewdatt, first made in July, 1916, has been considered and finally settled; and, if so, with what result?

Mr. SHORTT

There is some uncertainty as to the name and the date given by the right hon. Member, but I think he probably refers to the case of Charles Yewdall, who submitted an application in February, 1920. That case has not been finally settled, and I fear I can only repeat that, as the applicant has already been informed, it is not possible for me to say when it can be taken up.
