§ Sir F. NELSONasked the Minister of Labour the present conditions under which foreigners are admitted to this country for the avowed purpose of taking positions as waiters; and the total number of aliens so admitted for the nine months ending 30th September last?
§ Miss BONDFIELDApart from a very few exceptional cases, the only foreigners who were allowed to enter this country to take up employment as waiters are student employés, that is, persons who come to learn the English language and to complete their training. The arrangements for these admissions provide also for enabling British student employés to go to other countries for the purpose of training. The number of permissions issued during the nine months ended September, 1930, is 207, of which 260 were for student employés.
