HC Deb 29 May 1930 vol 239 c1466
32. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Home Secretary the present position in relation to the proceedings against Francis Lorang?

Mr. CLYNES

The supplementary evidence, to which I referred in my answer on the 15th instant, has been submitted to the French Government.

Sir K. WOOD

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any further particulars with regard to this matter? Can he say, for instance, how long it is since these proceedings first commenced, and whether there is any chance of their being concluded at an early date?

Mr. CLYNES

I think I indicated only a week or so ago that, so far as the Government are concerned, there has been no delay, and I can only repeat that the supplementary evidence referred to has been submitted to the French Government.

Mr. ARTHUR MICHAEL SAMUEL

Are there any treaties in this connection?

Mr. CLYNES

None whatever.
