HC Deb 28 December 1919 vol 123 cc1253-4
47. Sir F. HALL

asked the Lord Privy Seal if arrangements can be made for particulars, when settled, of the persons whose extradition will be demanded of Germany and the other enemy Powers to be circulated for the information of the House, together with the grounds on which their surrender is claimed?

Mr. BONAR LAW

At the present stage of negotiations, I cannot make any definite statement, but I have no doubt that in due course the full particulars will be made public.

Sir F. HALL

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that at all events France has taken steps in this matter and has listed a large number of those criminals, and are we to assume at all events that His Majesty's Government are not overlooking the matter, but are taking Die necessary steps?

Mr. BONAR LAW

My hon. Friend is under a misapprehension. Steps are being taken jointly by the Government.

Viscount CURZON

Is it still the intention of the Government to try the Kaiser in England?

Mr. BONAR LAW

There is no change in the position of the Government.
