HC Deb 24 June 1920 vol 130 c2370
51. Captain TUDOR-REES

asked when the last step in the direction of bringing the ex-Kaiser to trial was taken; and what was the nature of it?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Lord Privy Seal made a statement in the House on the 19th April as to the course of the negotiations with the Netherlands Government relative to the extradition of the ex-Emperor. I have nothing to add to that statement.

Captain TUDOR-REES

Have no steps been taken since then?

The PRIME MINISTER

No steps have been taken. The Netherlands Government refused to hand him over.

Captain W. BENN

Then this is the finish of the talk about hanging the Kaiser?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am afraid that your friend is not quite safe yet.
