HC Deb 19 September 1940 vol 365 c208W
Sir R. Gower

asked the Home Secretary whether, as a result of the declaration of the entire country as a defence area, aliens are prohibited from entry within 25 miles of any part of the coast?

Sir J. Anderson

No, Sir. Aliens as such are only prohibited from entering without permission in advance the areas declared to be Aliens Protected Areas under Article 9 of the Aliens Order, 1920, as amended.
