HC Deb 02 May 1927 vol 205 cc1280-1
74. Colonel DAY

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any representations have been made to the French authorities asking them to waive or modify the regulations with reference to the extradition proceedings in the case of Lord Terrington?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)

No, Sir. I have made no representations in the matter. There is a regular procedure which must be observed, and it would be improper for me to attempt to interfere with the course of the law in a foreign State.

Colonel DAY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether Lord Terrington has made any request to see a British medical officer in France?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I cannot say. It is for him to make such a request in France.
