§ Mr. Liddallasked the Home Secretary whether persons appearing before aliens tribunals will be allowed to be represented; and, if not, what is the reason for this new procedure?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe whole procedure is new and is designed to avoid the necessity for any general measure of internment. It is desired to complete the review with the greatest possible expedition. This object would not be attained if every case had to be dealt with as though the alien were being tried in a court of law. It will be open to the tribunal to allow the alien to be accompanied by a friend or to bring such witnesses as in the opinion of the tribunal may be likely to assist the tribunal.
