HC Deb 20 May 1947 vol 437 cc2154-5
9. General Sir George Jeffreys

asked the Secretary of State for War what British troops, military establishments and military offices still remain in Italy, Greece and North Africa respectively.

Mr. J. Freeman

It would not be in accordance with recent practice to give this information.

Sir G. Jeffreys

Is it to be understood that there is still a state of war in Italy or in Greece, and cannot any information be given as to the British troops which it is thought necessary to keep there?

Mr. Freeman

In the case of Italy, yes, Sir.
