§ 92. Mr. Longdenasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the considerable number of unemployed Italians in Eritrea; and what measures he proposes to prevent any worsening of the situation as well as adding to the burden on the British taxpayer owing to further immigration of Italians.
§ Mr. M. StewartYes. Arrangements have been made with the Italian Government to send a ship in the near future to repatriate as many of the unemployed as possible. Apart from replacements for key personnel, Italians are allowed to enter Eritrea only on extreme compassionate grounds.
