financial implications. British policy towards refugees revolved around the issue of finance. On 6 April 1933, the home secretary, Sir John
Gilmour, raised refugee matters in the Cabinet for the first time; he emphasised the problem of refugees who were completely destitute, or might soon be so… The Home Office wished to give a speedy response to an initiative from Jewish leaders which appeared to remove the risks entailed in admitting destitute Jews. There were also asking whether controls could be relaxed to ease the entry of refugees… The Cabinet Committee on Aliens Restrictions met for the first time on 6 April. (Discussion that many people presented themselves as visitors:) Now, when the immigration officer granted leave to land to a newly arrived passenger from the continent who seemed to be a refugee, he would routinely attach a short time condition - usually one month - plus a condition forbidding employment. (After discussion about the rate at which Jews might want to immigrate to Britain:) The Jewish proposals were set out in a document signed by Neville Laski KC, president of the London Committee of Deputies of British Jews, better known as Board of Deputies, Lionel L. Cohen KC, Committee, Leonard G. Montefiore, president of the Anglo-Jewish Association, and Otto Schiff. The most important element in seven short paragraphs was the guarantee that no refugee would become a burden on public funds: 'all expense, whether temporary or permanent accommodation or maintenance, will be borne by the Jewish community without ultimate charge to the state.' The guarantee was open-ended. No limit was set on the numbers to whom it would apply, but it was not designed to lead to long-lasting commitments. Jewish leaders intended the refugee's stay to be temporary… (expecting) ultimate transmigration of the refugees to countries other than England.

is in that year that we begin, with a brief history of immigration law, policy and practice ... The year 1905 saw
Britain take the next step in creating its modern system of immigration control. Prior to this time, immigration itself was not subject to legal controls ... The Aliens Act 1905 was designed to stem the influx of Jews from eastern Europe ... The new controls were highly selective ... In subsequent years the figures were much lower. Overall, the period from 1906 to 1914 saw a decline in alien admissions, partly because the new law had a deterrent effect. But by now most Jews emigrating from the continent preferred other destinations, particularly the USA. The mass entry of aliens ceased at the start of the First World War. The Aliens Restriction Act 1914 introduced sweeping powers to restrict alien immigration and to provide for deportation. After the war the Aliens Restriction (Amendment) Act 1919 extended the 1914 provisions into peace-time and added severe new restrictions.

During a period of high unemployment, many were concerned about losing job opportunities due to the influx of refugees.

It was common for refugees to be fined or imprisoned over these policies.
