§ 25. Mr. Piratinasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any further progress has been made in the research through the captured Italian documents and archives; what further evidence has emerged revealing the close 21 connection between Sir Oswald Mosley and the Italian Fascists; and whether he will publish this evidence.
Mr. McNeilThe position has not changed since I replied to the Question by my hon. Friend the Member for South Ayrshire (Mr. Emrys Hughes) on 23rd February, 1948. The Italian documents are of less importance and are much less complete than the German Foreign Office documents and our resources for research are at present concentrated upon the latter.
§ Mr. PiratinCould the Minister say how long it will be before these documents are published?
