§ 8. Mr. REA (for Mr. MALLALIEU)asked the Home Secretary whether an order has yet been made for the extradition of Jacob Factor from the United States of America and how much has been spent up to the present time upon the legal proceedings involved; and what further expense is likely to be incurred?
§ Sir J. GILMOURAfter prolonged legal proceedings before the courts in the United States a decision was given by the Supreme Court in favour of the application by His Majesty's Government for Factor's extradition, but no order for his surrender has been made by the United States Government. The cost of these proceedings in Factor's case, so far as they can be isolated from those connected with the extradition of his associates, Klein and Geen, has amounted to approximately £11,800. It is not proposed that any further expenditure should be incurred.
§ Mr. D. GRENFELLWill the right hon. Gentleman see that due vigilance is exercised by the officers of his Department to stop these men coming over to exploit innocent persons?
