HC Deb 06 June 1951 vol 488 cc993-4
24. Mr. Eric Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what reports he has received on the recent mass internments of Hungarian families by the Hungarian Government; and what action he is taking in view of this further violation by the Hungarian Government of Article 2 of the Peace Treaty.

Mr. H. Morrison

I have received no reports of mass internments. As far as I know at present, some high officials of the Hungarian Communist Party have been disgraced. I have also received reports that some Hungarians have been ordered to leave Budapest and to live in the country.

As to the second part of the Question, on 3rd November, 1950, the United Kingdom Delegation supported a resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on the Observance of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in Hungary, Bulgaria and Roumania. His Majesty's Government will, of course, implement this Resolution.
