HC Deb 29 July 1918 vol 109 c67W
Sir R. COOPER

asked the Home Secretary what is the official definition of "hostile origin" in Section 13 B of the Defence of the Realm Regulations?

Sir G. CAVE

The hon. Baronet presumably refers to Regulation 14D. There is no definition of the term "hostile origin" as used in that Regulation. The question whether a person is of hostile origin has to be determined on the facts of each case.
