§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the Home Secretary whether a Russian subject of the name of Percy B. Sieff has been forcibly deported from this country; if so, for what reason; whether a sum of £8, which had been collected by his. friends and given to him, was forcibly taken from him on shipboard for the payment of his passage money; whether it is the practice to compel persons who were unwillingly deported to pay their own passage; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Sir G. CAVEI made a deportation order in this case because I was satisfied that it was undesirable that the alien should be allowed to remain any longer in this country He had been twice convicted, and had on several occasions expressed a desire to return to Russia. In requiring him to pay his own fare the usual practice was followed, and he was left with between £7 and £8. No occasion for any action on ray part arises.
