HC Deb 27 January 1931 vol 247 c819W
Sir R. GOWER

asked the Home Secretary what number of alien exhibitors of performing animals have entered this country for the purpose of following their vocation under his licence during the past 12 months; how many there are now in this country; and whether he will consider the desirability of refusing to grant permits to such persons for such purpose in the future?

Mr. CLYNES

I regret that figures such as those asked for in the first two parts of the question are not available. The issue of permits for the purpose of Article 1 (3) (s) of the Aliens Order is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour.
