HC Deb 02 May 1911 vol 25 c186
Mr. NOEL BUXTON

asked whether the English lady recently imprisoned at Warsaw has yet been released; and, if not, what steps are being taken to hasten her liberation?

Sir E. GREY

No information has yet been received of Miss Malecka's release. With regard to the steps taken, I beg to, refer the hon. Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for Mid-Lanark on the 26th ultimo.

Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

Will the right hon. Gentleman instruct the Consul to see that the lady is represented by counsel at the trial when it takes place?

Sir E. GREY

The difficulty at the present moment is as to whether she is not a Russian subject. I am in telegraphic communication with the Embassy on that point, which must be settled before I can take further steps.

Mr. WHITEHOUSE

Has permission yet been obtained for the lady's friends, to visit her?

Sir E. GREY

I have already explained that the question whether she is a Russian subject legally must be settled before I can take any further steps.
