HC Deb 19 December 1893 vol 19 c1763
MR. MACDONA (Southwark, Rotherhithe)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that Signor Amilcari Cipriani, the notorious Italian socialist, is stated to have left Paris for London; whether M. Raynal, Minister of the Interior in the French Government, has prepared a list of persons to be expelled, comprising about 200 names of foreign anarchists or socialists residing in France, mostly Italians, Germans, and Russians of most violent and reckless tendencies, to be immediately expelled from that country; and whether, in view of the fact that persons expelled from France prefer coming to London, as easier of access and affording them greater freedom of action, he will state what steps the Government propose taking to prohibit these dangerous foreigners landing upon our shores?

SIR E. GREY

I have no information as to the statements in the first two paragraphs, while the subject dealt with in the third does not come under the cognisance of the Foreign Office.
