HC Deb 13 February 1946 vol 419 cc379-80
37. Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will now have the Quebec Agreement published in this country.

Mr. Bevin

The document to which I imagine my hon. Friend refers has already been published in the American Press and quoted in the British Press.

Mr. Stokes

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this document was signed by the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Woodford (Mr. Churchill) and by President Roosevelt on 15th September, 1944— a secret document—and was described by the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Warwick and Leamington (Mr. Eden) as being mere rumours and hearsay when I asked him on 28th September, 1944, whether it had been found?

Mr. Bevin

I do not remember that.

38. Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will now publish in full the agreements arrived at at Yalta

Mr. Bevin

I have nothing to add to the statements which have already been made on this subject.

Mr. Stokes

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, in view of the assurance given by the late Prime Minister that no secret arrangements were entered into either at Yalta or Teheran, he is aware that the 30th Corps orders in Germany in December last referred to an apparently secret agreement at Yalta regarding displaced persons, and can he assure the House that there was no such secret agreement, either in relatión to displaced persons or anything else?

Mr. Bevin

That is another question.
