§ Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Prime Minister whether he will appoint a committee of legal experts to consider and advise on the status of individuals of foreign birth who, having expatriated themselves from the country of their 1417W origin, have established here their permanent home but have not taken out letters of naturalisation; whether he will consider the existing administration of the Home Office, which, ignoring expatriation, recognises the varying municipal laws of foreign States as operating in this country for determining such status; and if he will consider the amendment of such administration to secure to the expatriated individual resident here such rights and privileges as are, or should be, accorded to him by English law?
§ Mr. BALDWINI am not aware of any reason for the appointment of the committee suggested in the first paragraph of the question. If my hon. and gallant Friend will supply my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department with any facts in illustration of the second paragraph, which, in his opinion, show that the administration of the Home Office is wrong, I am confident that they will be given full consideration. In the meantime, the last part of the question does not arise
