§ 53. Mr. KINGasked the Home Secretary whether he can give any information concerning a man named Leifkin, who, being a Russian Jew resident in Southport, was summoned at Liverpool on the 17th to the Dale Street Police Court because he had inadvertently left Southport leaving his identity book behind; whether he is aware that, at the hearing of this case, the magistrate stated that the Russian Consul had asked that Leifkin should be deported to Russia; and whether he will undertake not to let Leifkin be deported until after 10th October?
§ Mr. BRACEThe Home Secretary has no information in regard to this case. If any question of deportation comes before him, he will consider it carefully on its merits; but as this case, apparently, has no connection with the question of military service, no such undertaking as that for which my hon. Friend asks can be given.
