§ 6. Professor Savoryasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to make a statement on the circumstances of the murder, last December, of the second secretary of Mr. Mikolajczyk's Party, Mr. Boleslaw Scibiorek, and whether a representative of the British Embassy was present at the trial of the alleged assassins, in view of the guarantees given by the Yalta and Potsdam Agreements.
§ Mr. MayhewMonsieur Scibiorek was murdered on 5th December, 1945, shortly after he had left the Peasant Party formerly associated with the Lublin régime and joined Monsieur Mikolajczyk's party. At the recent trial two of the accused were sentenced to death and three to terms of ten years imprisonment. They were alleged to have been connected with an underground movement. His Majesty's Embassy followed the trial closely but were not represented in court.
§ Professor SavoryIs the hon. Gentleman aware that the reporter at the trial, 1236 Mr. Bartoszewski, gave an accurate and fair report in the "Gazetta Ludova," and that he has also been put into prison, being the fifth member of the staff of the journal of Mr. Mikolajczyk to be arrested?
§ Mr. MayhewI think that is another question.
§ Professor SavoryNo.
