§ 23. Mr. F. J. Errollasked the Minister of Supply whether he is in a position to give an up-to-date explanation of the disappearance of Professor Bruno Pontecorvo; and if he can give any indication of his present whereabouts.
§ Mr. SandysNo, Sir. I have nothing to add to the information given to the House on 23rd October and 6th November, 1950. I have no reason to doubt that Professor Pontecorvo is at present in the Soviet Union.
§ Mr. ErrollIs the Minister making further inquiries?
§ Mr. SandysI have not any very great facilities for making inquiries.
