§ 32. Sir C. CAYZERasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the case in which Kurt Kosterlitz and Heinrich Carl Andersen were charged recently at Clerkenwell police court with landing in the United Kingdom without the leave of an immigration officer and of being in the country without a passport; and whether, in view of the statement of the police that they had failed to discover bow the two men came into the country, he proposes to institute a special inquiry into the matter?
§ Mr. LLOYDYes, Sir. The aliens in question informed the police that they arrived at London Docks as stowaways on a Danish ship from Denmark, having bribed a member of the crew to bring them across. The master of the ship and the crew have been interviewed, but deny having any knowledge of them. On being taken to the ship, neither of them was able to identify any member of the crew or to substantiate their story by indicating any satisfactory place of concealment where they might have hidden during the voyage. Further inquiries are being made.
