Captain Shawasked the Home Secretary whether deportation orders were made in the cases of the five Jewish stowaways who landed in this country off the Dutch ship "Velocitas," on 24th July; whether this order has yet been, or is about to be, enforced; and whether these persons have been, or will be, deported to their country of origin or to Palestine?
§ Mr. PeakeThe five aliens who arrived at London in the "Velocitas" from Antwerp on 24th July have been charged with landing without permission in the United Kingdom and have been remanded in custody until 1st August. As the case issub judice I am unable to make any further statement at present.
