HC Deb 06 August 1941 vol 373 c1922
2. Mr. Keeling

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will publish details in the OFFICIAL REPORT, or in a White Paper, of German atrocities against British subjects in Rumania?

Mr. Eden

The brutal treatment suffered by a number of British subjects in Rumania in September and October last, to which I assume my hon and gallant Friend refers, was inflicted by members of the Rumanian Iron Guard organisation. Much publicity was given to these incidents at the time, but as at present advised, I do not consider that any useful purpose would be served by the official publication of details in the manner suggested.

Mr. Radford

Is there any reason why this White Paper should be confined to German atrocities in Rumania?

Mr. Eden

That question is among other matters I had in mind.
