HC Deb 22 May 1946 vol 423 c309
10. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will state the conditions which still remain to be fulfilled before British troops are withdrawn from Greece.

Mr. Bevin

I have nothing to add to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Broxtowe (Mr. Cocks) on 3rd April.

Mr. Warbey

Is my right hon. Friend aware that he informed the Security Council that British troops would be withdrawn from Greece very shortly after the holding of elections and the establishment of a stable Government? As over six weeks have passed, can he say what are the compelling reasons for not contemplating the carrying out of that promise?

Mr. Bevin

I am very glad to have my hon. Friend's assurance that a stable Government has now been fixed in Greece.
