§ Mr. WARDLAW-MILNEasked the Minister of Labour now many bands composed of alien musicians have been permitted to enter this country since the present Government came into office; and what were the corresponding numbers in the previous three years?
§ Miss BONDFIELD, pursuant to her reply [OFFICIAL REPORT, 30th January, 1930; col. 1153, Vol. 234], supplied the following statement: the aliens. According to my information, British entertainment artistes obtain engagements to a very considerable extent in foreign countries and it is necessary to have regard to this fact in deciding the limits within which alien musicians are to be admitted into this country.
