§ 69. Sir A. Southbyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether steps have been, or will be, taken to make it clear to the Governments of neutral countries that when we have won the war we shall not tolerate asylum being given by them to war criminals belonging to the Axis nations, no matter how exalted their position may be?
§ The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Eden)I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Stone (Sir J. Lamb) on 19th January last.
§ Sir A. SouthbyWill my right hon. Friend bear in mind the very natural apprehension there is in the country that, after this war, the criminals may be allowed to get off scot free as they were in the last war?
§ Mr. EdenMy answer did make clear that there was discussion on this matter with the other Allied Governments.
