§ SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)To ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, if he can say whether in the Rabinek case the prisoner was taken by the Congolese authorities from a British ship in British waters; and, if so, what course His Majesty's Government propose to adopt.
(Answered, by Lord Cranborne.) It is at present uncertain whether Mr. Rabinek was actually on board a British vessel when arrested, or whether the ship was at the time in British waters. Inquiries are, however, being made, and on receipt of definite information His Majesty's 794 Government will be in a position to consider what action should be taken in the matter.
