§ Mr. Wedgwoodasked the Home Secretary for what reasons it has been found necessary to refuse Mr. Stefan Kaufmann's application for release; whether the fact that he had set up six plants employing 24 British workers on production vital for the national effort has been taken into consideration; and whether he is aware that Mr. Kaufmann, a Jewish refugee from Nazi oppression and a strong anti-Nazi, is still compelled to live together with Nazis in the same camp at Huyton?
§ Mr. H. Morrison:After consideration of all the circumstances including those referred to by my right hon. Friend, I came to the conclusion that it was not in the interests of national security to authorise Mr. Kaufmann's release from internment at the present time. As regards the second part of the Question, a broad distinction is drawn in the camps between those who are considered to be friendly towards the Allied cause and those who are not, and I regret that further sub-divisions are not practicable.
