HC Deb 17 October 1939 vol 352 cc711-2W
Colonel Wedgwood

asked the Home Secretary whether he will give an estimate of the cost of the aliens tribunals appointed to decide whether German Jews are friendly aliens?

Sir J. Anderson

I presume that the right hon. Gentleman is referring to the tribunals which are reviewing the cases of all Germans and Austrians in this country. It is not possible at this stage to estimate the expenditure involved, which must depend on the time required to complete their task.
