HC Deb 05 December 1922 vol 159 c1528W
Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the case of John Berkley, a naturalised British subject of Austrian birth, who was sentenced at the Old Bailey for assaults upon women on 24th November, and to the remarks of the Recorder that he should have recommended the man for deportation but for the fact that he was naturalised, as such men were not wanted in this country; and whether steps will be taken to revoke the naturalisation certificate in this case?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I would refer to the reply which I gave on the 30th ultimo to a similar question by the hon. Member for the Northern Division of Newcastle-on-Tyne (Mr. G. Doyle).
