HC Deb 15 May 1924 vol 173 c1577W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Home Secretary how many aliens who were refused admission into this country last year have since then been allowed to enter on the ground that they constitute hard cases?

Mr. HENDERSON

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on Monday last to a similar question by the hon. Member for Windsor (Mr. A. Somerville).

Sir L. LYLE

asked the Home Secretary the number of certificates of naturalisation issued in each of the last six months?

Mr. HENDERSON

The certificates granted are published in the London Gazette every month and in an Annual Statement laid before Parliament. For the first four months of this year the figures are 106, 76, 79, 62, as compared with a monthly average of 94 for the year 1923.
