§ Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is yet able to state the views of the Foreign Office on the Report of the labour delegation to Hungary, particularly on those parts which comment on the issue of the White Paper on the alleged White terror; and whether he can state anything further as to Lieutenant Hejjas or as to the disbandment of the officer detachments?
Mr. HARMSWORTHFurther reports have just been received from Hungary and are now under consideration. As regards Lieutenant Hejjas, His Majesty's representative at Budapest is informed that he is no longer detained "under arrest," but that he has been court-martialled, found guilty and imprisoned in the military barracks at Buda. The further inquiries, promised in the answer returned to my 2167W hon. and gallant Friend by the Prime Minister on the 28th June, as to alleged "risings" on the part of Hejjas and his supporters, show that no such rising took place, but that the National Army have arrested some 80 of these persons charged with committing various outrages.
