§ SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)To ask the secretary of State for the Home Department if steps have been taken to ensure the attendance and evidence on oath before the Police Commission of the complainants known as Monsieur et Madame d'Angely.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Gladstone.) No steps can be taken for this purpose until the Bill conferring powers on the Commission has received the Royal Assent, but if these persons are outside the jurisdiction of the Commission it is obvious that no steps can be taken to compel their appearance.
