See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

Home Secretary Sir John Anderson denied in the House of Commons last night that there has been discrimination against Jews of any nationality in administering an order excluding aliens from Government works and occupations connected with the war. The statement was in reply to a question by Col. Josiah Wedgwood, Labor M.P., on why German Jews classed as friendly aliens and Czech Jews have been expelled from Government works, munitions factories and shipyards.
