HC Deb 29 July 1946 vol 426 c506
21. Mr. Pickthorn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what British subjects are held by the Yugoslav Government; and for what reason.

Mr. Noel-Baker

According to the information at my disposal there are five British subjects belonging to Canada, one belonging to Australia and two belonging to the United Kingdom. I do not think it would be in the public interest to add anything further.

Mr. Pickthorn

While not wishing to press any question and possibly do harm to these people, but remembering that we are about to separate for 11 or 12 weeks, may I have an assurance that information will be sought quickly and communicated to those who are most interested?

Mr. Noel-Baker

I will take the earliest opportunity of letting the hon. Member know all the facts that I can gather.
