§ Mr. JAMES MASONasked the Under-Secretary for War whether any case has arisen of the release from internment of an enemy alien after a recommendation that he should not be released had been made by the chief constable in a prohibited area?
§ Mr. TENNANTAs I informed the hon. Member on the 11th instant in reply to a similar question, no alien enemy has been released when the police report gave reasonable ground for anticipating that he was likely to be dangerous in any way. Alien enemies released from internment are not permitted to return to prohibited areas unless they obtain the special permission of the chief constable and also of the local military authorities, which is rarely given.
