HC Deb 18 December 1941 vol 376 c2099W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Secretary of States for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the fact that Great Britain and the United States of America are now partners in the war, he can come to some mutual arrangement with the American Government to intern citizens of either country in either country who work and speak against the declared policy of the two Governments?

Mr. Law

The question of collaboration with the United States Government in matters arising out of the presence in either country of undesirable nationals of the other country is under examination. This examination will, of course, include consideration of the most suitable form of sanction to be exercised against offending persons.
