HC Deb 30 January 1930 vol 234 c1192W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he proposes to reconsider the whole of the existing extradition treaties with foreign Powers so as to enable the courts of justice in this country to deal with foreign subjects who are charged with offences against our law, and who, to avoid punishment, withdraw to their respective countries of origin?

Mr. DALTON

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which my right hon. Friend gave yesterday in reply to a question on this subject by the hon. Member for Kingston-upon-Thames (Sir G. Penny).
