HC Deb 24 March 1947 vol 435 c129W
16. Major Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many names of alleged war criminals, quislings and traitors, have been submitted to him by Yugoslav Repatriation Missions; in the case of how many persons listed is he satisfied that a prima facie case has been made out for forcible repatriation; and by what methods he checks the evidence submitted by the Yugoslav authorities.

Mr. McNeil

The Yugoslav Government have demanded the surrender of 936 alleged quislings and traitors. His Majesty's Government are satisfied that aprima facie case for forcible repatriation has been made out in the case of 77 of these. Investigation of the remaining cases is of course not completed. The evidence supplied by the Yugoslav authorities is checked from information in the records of His Majesty's Government and by examination where possible of the accused and of other Yugoslav displaced persons.
