It is not alear shether the words "not having the means of subsistence" are intended to relate only to "decrepit” persons or to the various other classes of persons specified in this paragraph as well,

The effect of this provision, having regard to the definition of "anniling document" in Sestion (2) abʊve, is that any person who is not a British subject or a resident of ten years' standing can be deported if e.g. he should be and is not in possession of a driving licence.
Presumably the persons really aimed at here are persons should be but are not in possession of suck documents na are specified in Section 18 of the Immigrants Central (ndi- zance, 1949.
The effect of this provision will in many cases presumably be that the alleged uni esirable will be brought before a competent authority either in ignorance or in doubt on to the reasons for his being brought there. He will again in may e«ses not have had a proper opportunity to provide himself with advies or to obtain the attendance of witopases.
It is suggested that same provision should be included enabling kin, if he desiros te de sa, to obtain an adjournment
for the purpose of procuring the attendamse af witnesses.
Evidence on behalf of the alleged undesirable should, of course, also be recorded.
