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

asked the Home Secretary if Krahn, who has been employed as a clerk under the War Office, was convicted at Birmingham in 1913, sentenced to five years' imprisonment and recommended for deportation; and, if so, why this recommendation was not carried out?

Sir G. CAVE

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and to the second that inquiries subsequent to his conviction showed that he was not an alien but a British subject born in London, and therefore could not be expelled from the United Kingdom.
