HC Deb 27 July 1922 vol 157 cc710-1W
Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the Home Secretary whether Martin Szumskis, who was recently sentenced at the Thames police court to one month's hard labour, coupled with a recommendation for deportation, on the ground of his alleged plea of guilty to the offence of having neglected to register his intended change of address, has been refused the right of appeal; and whether, in view of the one week's hard labour suffered by the defendant under his conviction and his good record as a law-abiding citizen in this country for upwards of 20 years, he will now recommend the remission of the remainder of the sentence, and direct that the recommendation for deportation shall not be acted upon?

Mr. SHORTT

The hon. and gallant Member asked, and I answered, a question to the same effect as this one last week—on 20th July. I have nothing to add to my answer.
