HC Deb 20 December 1934 vol 296 cc1303-4
9. Mr. STOURTON

asked the Home Secretary whether Benjamin Berger, who was convicted of large scale illicit manufacture of spirits, is to be deported; and what steps are to be taken against his associate Markovitch who was deported in 1931 and is reported to have returned to this country and to be still at large carrying on the same illicit trade?

Sir J. GILMOUR

It has been ascertained that Berger is a British-born subject. No question of deportation therefore arises. As regards Markovitch, no information has yet been obtained as to his present whereabouts.
