HC Deb 01 May 1950 vol 474 cc153-4W
58. Mr. De Chair

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the United Kingdom representative on the United Nations Special Committee on the Balkans has reported any progress yet in the repatriation of Greek children abducted from their homes; and, what steps are being taken to secure the speedy return of these children in accordance with the terms of the resolution on this subject adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 5th December. 1949.

Mr. Ernest Davies

This matter was not entrusted to the Special Committee. The International Red Cross are continuing their efforts to get these children back to their homes, in accordance with the resolution passed unanimously by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 18th November, 1949. Unfortunately these efforts have so far been unsuccessful.
