HC Deb 30 June 1919 vol 117 cc629-30W
Mr. BOTTOMLEY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether De Valera was furnished with a passport when sailing for America; if not, how he succeeded in securing his passage; and whether any demand has been made for his extradition?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I have ascertained that De Valera was not furnished with a passport by the Foreign Office. It is not known how he secured his passage to America. The answer to the last portion of the question is in the negative.
