§ MR. HOWELL (Bethnal Green, N.E.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can state to the House what steps are being taken to expedite the return to this country of Jabez Spencer Balfour, for whose arrest a warrant has been issued; whether he can state if the warrant has been served upon the said Jabez Spencer Balfour; whether negotiations are going on between Her Majesty's Government and any foreign country for the extradition of the said Jabez Spencer Balfour; and whether he can state to the House if any, and if so what, difficulties exist in the way of such extradition?
§ SIR E. GREYNo further information has been received since the last question was asked, and it would not assist the interests of justice to make any detailed statement at the present time.
