asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he has authorised the re-entry to this country of the Quaglino brothers, who returned to Italy in 1940 with other Fascist sympathisers in the party of the then Italian Ambassador; and what steps he is taking to ensure that they refrain from political activities.
