HC Deb 15 March 1957 vol 566 c225W
Mr. Lawson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to Recommendation 115, 1957, of the Council of Europe which relates to mass deportations from Hungary; and what action has been taken to implement this recommendation.

Mr. Ian Harvey

The Minister's Deputies considered Recommendation No. 115 at their meeting on 24th January to 1st February. They found the Recommendation unacceptable and on 8th February informed the President and Representatives of the Assembly in the Joint Committee that it was not proposed to comply with it. No action, therefore, is called for by Mer Majesty's Government.
