§ Mr. N. MACLEANasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that American public opinion is agitated over the deportation in April last of Miss Lillian Scott Troy, an American citizen, from this country in circumstances which have never been thoroughly explained; that the matter of her deportation and her treatment in England is shortly to be brought before the House of Representatives; and whether, in view of the necessity of maintaining the closest friendship between the two countries and of vindicating our national reputation for justice and fair play, he will order an inquiry into her case?
§ Major BAIRDThe Prime Minister has asked me to reply. His Majesty's Government have no information to the effect of the first two parts of the question. My right hon. Friend the Home Secretary sees no reason for any inquiry into the case.
