HC Deb 14 March 1918 vol 104 c500W
Major NEWMAN

asked the Minister of National Service whether he has come to a decision that all Russian, aliens of military age shall be compulsorily employed on work of national importance at military rates of pay or be interned pending deportation to Russia?

Mr. BECK

The answer is in the negative. The whole question of the treatment of Russian aliens in this country, which is one of great complexity, is under the consideration of the Government, and it is hoped that it may be possible to announce a decision very shortly.
