HC Deb 09 March 1911 vol 22 c1378
Mr. CHARLES CRAIG

asked whether the Chief Secretary will state where the investigations of the police, so far as they have gone, lead him to believe the McCann children are hidden?

Mr. BIRRELL

The investigations of the police do not enable a definite answer to be given. There is a report that the father is in America, that the children have been taken out to him, but the police have not as yet been able to find out whether the rumour is true.
