HC Deb 06 May 1918 vol 105 c1892W
Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the conviction of Woolf Buckner, an alien Pole, on Saturday last at the Westminster Police Court, who last year was convicted under the Aliens Regulation Act and recommended for expulsion, which was not carried out; and whether he will now carry out the magistrate's hope that this time Buckner will be deported?

Sir G. CAVE

At the end of his previous sentence for failing to notify his change of address this man petitioned to be allowed to join the British Army, and was permitted to do so. He has now deserted and committed a further offence, and it is highly improbable that he will be allowed to remain here when his present sentence expires.
