§ Sir G. CAVEAll the self-governing Dominions and also India are concerned in the Bill to amend the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act. The matter was before the Imperial War Conference in April last, and drafts of the Bill were circulated to the Dominions in May and Again in September. I understand that Canada and Australia, whose replies are still outstanding, have recently been urged to expedite them, and I hope to introduce the Bill very shortly.
