HC Deb 09 July 1919 vol 117 cc1847-8W
Mr. CLOUGH

asked the Home Secretary when, since Peace has been signed, he proposes to withdraw the restrictions concerning registration at hotels, so far, at least, as they affect British subjects?

Mr. SHORTT

The obligation imposed on British subjects with regard to registration at hotels is merely to give particulars sufficient to enable them to be distinguished from aliens. I cannot hold out any hope that these Regulations, which are essential to the maintenance of an efficient system of registration of aliens, will be withdrawn.
