HC Deb 03 July 1932 vol 156 c44W
Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the Prime Minister when it is proposed to relax the Regulations excluding all Russians from this country, irrespective of whether they are Latvians, Ukranians, or Esthonians?

Mr. SHORTT

The existing restrictions on the entry of aliens into this country are designed to protect it from an influx from Central and Eastern Europe. While individual applications for permission to come here are considered on their merits, I do not think the time has come for any general relaxation of the practice which experience has shown to be necessary in this matter.

Sir J. REMNANT

asked the Home Secretary how many aliens resident in this country are given special police protection?

Mr. SHORTT

No aliens are being given special police protection.
