HC Deb 20 February 1953 vol 511 cc174-5W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will arrange to have placed in the House of Commons Library a copy of the annex to the report of the Netherlands Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry, dated 1950, wherein allegations of neglect against Special Operations Executive and the British Secret Service are made.

Mr. Nutting

I assume that the hon. Gentleman is referring to the document containing the statement made by the Foreign Office to Dr. Donker, and would refer him to my reply today, which deals with that statement.

Mr. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will publish in HANSARD a copy of the statement made by his Department to Dr. Donker, Chairman of the Netherlands Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into the conduct of clandestine operations in Holland, dated 14th December, 1949.

Mr. Nutting

Since this statement is lengthy, I am placing a copy in the Library.
