London, Mar. 1.
The Home Secretary, Sir John Anderson, was asked in the House of Commons today whether his attention had been called to the fact that about 250 Germans were employed in and around Aldershot, and whether they Were a danger to the country.
The Home Secretary said there was no justification for treating all German aliens of Austrian nationality without regard to the fact that the majority were refugees from Nazi oppression and bitterly opposed to the present German regime.
Every case had already been investigated by a tribunal, ana regional advisory committees would shortly undertake a further review of certain categories of German Austrians who had not been interned.
A total of 6,782 German refugees were exempted from internment, but mot from the special restrictions applicable to enemy aliens, and 64544 had been exempted both from internment and special restrictions. Of the persons dealt with by tribunals, Sir John Anderson added, 5545 were known to be refugees from Nazi oppression.—Reuter. camped in Palestine.
