HC Deb 08 July 1915 vol 73 c539W
Sir A. MARKHAM

asked the Under-Secretary for War whether, in all cases before alien enemies were released between 1st January and 13th May by his order, the Home Office was consulted and concurred with the order of release?

Mr. TENNANT

The Home Office obtained a report from the police in each case, and submitted it to the War Office. The decision rested entirely with the War Office.
