asked the Prime Minister whether he can make any statement with regard to the arrest of a British subject in Sweden on suspicion of espionage?

According to my Noble Friend's information, a British subject has been arrested. An investigation is being conducted by the Swedish authorities, and His Majesty's Minister at Stockholm is watching the case. I am not at present in a position to make any further statement.
