HC Deb 22 July 1943 vol 391 cc1091-2W
Mr. Wootton-Davies

asked the Home Secretary whether, in cases of illegal trading in food, he can arrange for the nationality of persons convicted to be published in court?

Mr. H. Morrison

In cases in which a convicted person is an alien it is, according to my information, the usual practice to state his nationality when information about his antecedents is given to the court before sentence is passed. Arrangements are also in existence for informing my Department of any case when an individual convicted of black market offences is an alien, so that a careful watch may be kept and any appropriate action taken.
