§ Mr. Ernest DaviesI am having inquiries regarding this particular petition made in Germany and I will write to the hon. Member when a reply is received. As regards the second part of the Question, I have nothing to add to the statement made by my right hon. Friend on 29th June, 1949.
§ Professor SavoryDoes the hon. Gentleman not realise that I have asked this Question again and again, and have implored His Majesty's Government to allow these Frisians, who were formerly British subjects, to return to their native land?
