§ 2. Mr. Stokesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he now has any statement to make regarding the incident at Bologna, on or about 10th May, when British soldiers and Soviet citizens were killed and wounded during the forcible repatriation of the latter.
§ Mr. BevinI am not yet in a position to make the statement for which I have been asked. The material with which my hon. Friend was good enough to supply me contained allegations which have necessitated detailed investigations, and these investigations are not yet complete. I can, however, state quite categorically that no British soldiers and no Soviet citizens were either killed or wounded in the course of this operation.
