The Aliens Restriction (Amendment) Act 1919 (9 & 10 Geo. 5. c. 92) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom originally aimed at continuing and extending the provisions of the Aliens Restriction Act 1914, and the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act 1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5. c. 17) and to deal with former enemy aliens after the end of the World War I.[2][3]
It provided the authority to produce the Aliens Order 1920.[2]
After subsequent amendment and repeal, what remains comprises section 3 on sedition and promoting industrial unrest, section 6 on the civil service, section 8 on juries, section 13 on offences and penalties, and section 16 giving the short title.
