HC Deb 01 August 1930 vol 242 c885
2. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Home Secretary if he can now state the result of his inquiries into the case of Isidore Dreazen; and whether he has ascertained if he is a member of the executive committee of the Communist International?

Mr. SHORT

This man has now been charged before the Stipendiary Magistrate in Manchester with being in possession of an irregular passport, and has been remanded until the 5th instant. My right honourable Friend is not in a position to make any further statement at this stage.

Sir K. WOOD

Is the statement previously made that this man was an American citizen correct, or not?

Mr. SHORT

If I recall aright, he came here on an American passport, and I think there is some doubt about it.

Mr. MILLS

Is this the gentleman who has been constantly referred to in this House as representing himself to be Mr. Jack Mills !

Sir K. WOOD

Jack Mills!

Mr. MILLS

Yes; it has been used by the hon. Member for Chislehurst (Mr. Smithers).
