HC Deb 22 June 1939 vol 348 c2460W
Mr. Petherick

asked the Home Secretary in how many of the 108 cases of aliens who, during the last year entered this country illegally, were deportation orders recommended, and in how many cases were the orders carried out?

Sir S. Hoare

Deportation orders were recommended by the courts in all 108 cases, and orders were made in 30. Thirteen of these orders were enforced, four of the aliens concerned made their own way out of the country, and in the remaining 13 cases it was found impracticable to enforce the orders. In 62 cases it was decided not to make orders, and 16 cases are still under consideration.
