HC Deb 01 November 1939 vol 352 cc1905-6
5. Major-General Sir Alfred Knox

asked the Prime Minister whether he has any information regarding the fate of M. Skirmunt, for many years Polish Ambassador in London?

Mr. Butler

My Noble Friend has read with great regret reports which have appeared that M. Skirmunt has been killed, but he has so far received no official confirmation.

Sir A. Knox

Does not this mean in plain English that this aged diplomat has been foully murdered?
