HC Deb 19 June 1950 vol 476 c79W
138. Mr. J. Foster

asked the Attorney-General what steps have been taken to secure the extradition of Sidney Stanley from France.

The Attorney-General

None. Extradition proceedings are not normally taken in respect of bankruptcy offences. In any event, I do not think that any obvious public interest would be served by procuring the return of this individual with a view to his possible detention at the public expense for a period not exceeding two years and with the eventual result that he might be able to engage here in activities which the country can quite well do without.
