§ Sir L. Lyleasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many unnaturalised Germans are resident in Great Britain at the present time; and whether any of them are able to move about unrestricted.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonOn 31st December, 1944, the number of aliens registered with the police in Great Britain as of German nationality was 40,021. Of those exempted or released from internment most have been exempted, after individual examination of their cases, from the special restrictions applicable to aliens of enemy nationality and since the revocation of the Aliens (Movement Restriction) Orders and the Aliens (Protected Areas) Orders are subject to the same restrictions as are applicable to neutrals in this country. The vast majority of these persons are, of course, refugees from Nazi oppression.
