§ 24. Lieut. - Commander FLETCHERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, seeing that the latest interrogation of Henry Lawrence, alias Lopez, alias Mezler, establishes the closeness of the relations of this man with the Italian Embassy, he will inform the Italian Government that the Italian military attaché to the Italian Ambassador in London is no longer persona grata here?
§ Mr. EDENI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Kingswinford (Mr. A. Henderson) on 20th May, to which I have nothing to add.
§ 62. Mr. A. HENDERSONasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the precise identity of Colonel Lopez; and whether he can make any further statement on his activities?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd)I am informed that he is identical with Henry Lawrence Bernstein, born in Australia in 1872, who assumed the name of Henry Lawrence some considerable time ago. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
§ Mr. HENDERSONHas this person any connection with the Chiddingfold conspiracy?
