HC Deb 29 June 1936 vol 314 cc7-8
27. Miss WILKINSON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has made any inquiries from the German authorities regarding their treatment of Major Grenfell, late of the Royal Army Medical Corps, when visiting Hamburg last week for the trial of Edgar Andre; and whether he is aware that this treatment followed a statement from an official of the ministry of justice that there was no objection to his being present at the trial?

Viscount CRANBORNE

I have no information on this matter beyond what has appeared in the Press.

Miss WILKINSON

Will the Noble Lord make inquiries about it, because what appears in the Press is sufficient to justify some action by His Majesty's Government?

Viscount CRANBORNE

If the gentleman in question or his representative cares to make a request, I will certainly consider calling for a report.

Mr. COCKS

What about the British Government? We are not Nicaragua.
