§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir John Simon)The last annual report in this case was received in June, 1935. It disclosed no significant change since the case had been reviewed in the previous year.

§ Sir J. SIMONI do not know what is stated in the Press, but what I have stated is correct.
