HC Deb 10 August 1914 vol 65 cc2268-9W
Mr. HUNT

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that all our foodstuffs will be wanted during the war for our own people, he can say whether foreigners will be prevented from landing in this country till the end of the war?

The PRIME MINISTER

In the opinion of His Majesty's Government, absolute prohibition is not desirable. Very strict supervision is being exercised by my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary, under the powers conferred on him by the Aliens Restriction Act.
