Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will state how many aliens are now interned in this country; how many have been released since the 1st January last; and how many known aliens are now residing in prohibited areas?

Mr. TENNANT

The number of alien enemies (other than prisoners of war) now interned is 19,342. The number released up to 25th April was 1,212. For the answer to the last part of the question I must refer the hon. Gentleman to the answers given by my right, hon. Friend the Home Secretary on the 23rd November, the 10th February, and the 21st instant.
