HC Deb 20 June 1955 vol 542 c1006
4. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what further inquiries are being made into the disappearance of Burgess and Maclean.

Mr. Turton

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply he received from my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary on 27th April, to which I have nothing to acid.

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

Does that mean that the position is exactly what it was on 31st January, when the Minister said that the information was inadequate and that researches into the matter were not sufficient? If I put down a Question in three years' time to the hon. Gentleman, shall I get a better answer?

Mr. Turton

If the hon. and gallant Gentleman will study very carefully the reply given by my right hon. Friend, I think that he will see the full implication of that reply.
