HC Deb 17 October 1945 vol 414 c1147
25. Sir Waldron Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the latest position in Trieste and district.

Mr. Noel-Baker

Trieste and the surrounding district are now administered by Allied Military Government. One section of the population has shown some reluctance to co-operate with the Allied authorities, but no serious Incidents have occurred, and I am glad to assure the hon. Member that the Allied authorities have shown both tact and skill in their performance of a difficult task.
