HC Deb 20 January 1943 vol 386 c182
5. Sir Percy Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that Goering and other Nazi leaders have bought estates in Sweden and other neutral countries; and whether His Majesty's Government will refuse to agree to their crimes being regarded as political and therefore non-extraditable, so that they cannot follow the example of Kaiser Wilhelm and escape to a neutral country?

Mr. Eden

As regards the first part of the Question, I have seen reports to this effect. As regards the second part of the Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given yesterday to my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke (Mr. Ellis Smith).

Sir P. Hurd

Then the matter is receiving further attention?

Mr. Eden

My right hon. Friend explained that we are in communication with other Governments about this very difficult question.
