I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the serious incidents reported yesterday, he will consider the advisability of following the system at present adopted by France of having all Germans placed on the West Coast, and detaining them there in guarded localities until they can be otherwise disposed of?

I have had no notice of the question.

I gave notice of the question to the Home Secretary yesterday, and he asked me to postpone it until today.
