HC Deb 19 September 1940 vol 365 c209W
Squadron-Leader Hulbert

asked the Home Secretary whether he will relax the restrictions imposed upon American citizens resident in this country who are engaged in commerce or in any way assisting the Allied cause?

Sir J. Anderson

I agree that a liberal policy should be followed in granting exemption from the aliens restrictions to citizens of the United States and steps have been taken to this end.
