Colonel NEWMANasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to recent cases in which fugitives from justice in this country who happen to be well equipped with funds have been able to make their escape to countries from which they cannot be extradited; and whether, in view of the Conference at Genoa, steps can be taken to induce all Governments to come into line with regard to the question of extradition?
Mr. HARMSWORTHMy attention has not been called to any recent case of a fugitive escaping from justice in this country by going to a foreign State with which His Majesty's Government have no extradition treaty; nor does the question of extradition come within the scope of the work for which the Genoa Conference was summoned.
