§ 5. Sir Percy Hurdasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that Goering and other Nazi leaders have bought estates in Sweden and other neutral countries; and whether His Majesty's Government will refuse to agree to their crimes being regarded as political and therefore non-extraditable, so that they cannot follow the example of Kaiser Wilhelm and escape to a neutral country?
§ Mr. EdenAs regards the first part of the Question, I have seen reports to this effect. As regards the second part of the Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given yesterday to my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke (Mr. Ellis Smith).
§ Sir P. HurdThen the matter is receiving further attention?
§ Mr. EdenMy right hon. Friend explained that we are in communication with other Governments about this very difficult question.
