§ 2. Captain Cunningham-Reidasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what department or organisation in this country is compiling an official list of enemy war criminals?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Richard Law)Information regarding war crimes against British subjects which comes to the notice of the various Departments of His Majesty's Government is communicated through the Foreign Office to the Treasury Solicitor with a view to the submission of suitable cases to the United Nations Commission.
§ Captain Cunningham-ReidIs the Minister aware that no comprehensive, up-to-date list exists at all? Further, is he aware that that is one of the reasons why Members of Parliament have not been allowed to inspect such list?
§ Mr. LawThe list obviously takes some time to assemble, and it is not the responsibility of His Majesty's Government to assemble such a comprehensive list. That is the responsibility of the individual Allied Governments concerned.
