HC Deb 29 September 1942 vol 383 c672
55. Sir T. Moore

asked the Prime Minister whether he can make a statement defining our attitude towards the Vichy Government in view of Laval's recent policy of brutality and treachery?

The Prime Minister

I have no fresh statement to make on this subject.

Sir T. Moore

Would it not be a comfort and an encouragement to our friends in France if a categorical denunciation of this traitor could be made with the authority of my right hon. Friend?

The Prime Minister

I am afraid I have rather exhausted the possibilities of the English language.
