HC Deb 13 November 1933 vol 281 cc576-8W
Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Home Secretary how many cases have recently come to his notice of German-Jew refugees entering this country without permission from the immigration authorities; and haw many such cases have been followed by deportation

Sir J. GILMOUR

During the last six months, about a dozen cases have been brought to my notice of aliens coming from Germany who have evaded the immigration control. In three cases, one being a Hungarian, the second a German and the third a Pole, deportation orders were made on the recommendation of a court and the aliens were deported respectively to Hungary, Germany and Poland. Of the others, one is a person of Polish origin, about whose nationality inquiries are being made by the Polish authorities, and six are stateless who cannot be deported to Germany or any other country. The other two, being husband and wife, were charged at Glasgow on 10th October for landing without leave, and the court has decided to defer sentence until 10th January next.
