§ Mr. Winnickasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if a list is kept by his Department of major Nazi war criminals who have yet to be brought to justice; and whether steps are taken to keep such a list up to date with regard to the known location of these criminals.
§ Mr. HurdThe wartime allies agreed on a list of major war criminals to be tried by the international military tribunal at Nurnberg by the four powers. Of these criminals only one, Martin Bormann, is unaccounted for.
§ Mr. Winnickasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to the reply of the Prime Minister of 3 February, whether Her Majesty's Government will consult other wartime allied Governments to try to ensure that Nazi war criminals who have not been tried are brought to justice.
§ Mr. HurdImmediately after the war the three Western allies had responsibility in what is now the Federal Republic of Germany for the prosecution of war 277W criminals. Since 1955 responsibility for such prosecutions, with the exception of major war criminals, has been a matter for the Government and courts of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Her Majesty's Government would respond positively to any requests from wartime allied Governments, and the Government of the Federal Republic, for help in bringing Nazi war criminals to justice.
