HC Deb 14 May 1906 vol 157 cc181-2
SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to the expulsion of foreign anarchists from France to England, and if, in spite of the provisions of the Aliens Act, such expelled persons are received in England; and in such cases, having regard to the manufacture and explosion of bombs brought to light in and near Paris to the common danger, what steps he is taking for the safety of the inhabitants of London and the prevention of conspiracy to murder.

MR. GLADSTONE

It would be obviously contrary to the public interest to announce in Parliament any police measures it might be necessary to take for baffling a conspiracy to murder, but I may say that I have no reason to suppose that the public safety at the present time demands any exceptional measures for this purpose. If the hon. and gallant Member has any information at his disposal pointing to an opposite conclusion I should be grateful if he would communicate it to me privately.
