§ Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked the Home Secretary whether he will issue an Order permitting the free inspection by any British citizen of the local registers of aliens at polite stations?
§ Mr. SHORTTI think it is necessary to adhere to the established practice that these registers are not available for public inspction, but that the police are authorised to inform inquirers who show good reason for their inquiry whether or not a particular individual is registered as an alien friend or an alien enemy, as the case may be.
