§ 18. Mr. FLEMINGasked the Home Secretary if he has any information as to the present whereabouts of the London girls who were left stranded in a Paris hotel by one Luis Fernandez, who was recently convicted of murder in that city?
§ Sir J. GILMOURNo, Sir. I have made inquiry, but I can find no confirmation of the statements which were made recently in a newspaper that the man referred to has decoyed six English girls to Paris on the pretext of finding them theatrical employment.
§ Mr. FLEMINGDoes that reply mean that inquiries have been addressed directly to the Prefecture of Police in Paris?
§ Sir J. GILMOURYes, Sir. Scotland Yard has been in communication with the French police.
