69. Lieut.-Commander Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many aliens have been deported from the United Kingdom on security grounds since the end of the war; and to which States these persons belonged.
§ Mr. EdeSince 8th May, 1945, deportation orders have been made and enforced against six aliens on security grounds. Four of the aliens were Czechs, one a German and one a Pole. The figure given excludes aliens who were detained on security grounds under orders made during the war but who could not be deported till it was over.
70. Lieut.-Commander Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied that none of the aliens who have come to this country from Eastern Europe since the end of the war are engaged in subversive activities.
§ Mr. EdeIn such a matter there is no discrimination against aliens based on their country of origin. Appropriate action would be taken in respect of any alien who engages in subversive activities in this country.
