HC Deb 20 December 1915 vol 77 c53W
Mr. JOWETT

asked the Home Secretary whether children of alien parents born on British soil are now being treated as aliens; and, if so, under what legal authority this is being done?

Sir JOHN SIMON

I am not aware that persons who, though of alien parentage, are natural-born British subjects by reason of birth in His Majesty's Dominions, are being treated as aliens. If my hon. Friend can give me any specific instances of what he has in mind, I will make inquiries.
