HC Deb 30 October 1912 vol 43 c442
69. Sir HILDRED CARLILE

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the Criminal Law Amendment Rill, he will in form the House why certain European countries, which are well known to be interested in the subject, were not represented at the Congress which signed the International Convention of Paris, 1910; whether they were invited to send representatives; and, if so, did they refuse, and on what grounds?

Mr. McKENNA

I do not know to what countries the hon. Member refers. The invitations were issued by the French Government, and if there were any refusals I am not aware of the grounds for refusal.

Sir H. CARLILE

Will the right hon. Gentleman accept a list?

Mr. McKENNA

I shall be much obliged to the hon. Member.
