§ Mr. BattleSince the incident Her Majesty's Government has been in close contact with the Greek authorities at the highest level. At their request, a team of specialists from the Metropolitan police flew to Athens on the day of the murder. They are still there, working closely with the Greek police. The House must understand that the operational aspects must remain confidential. However, we remain committed, as do the Greek Government, to bringing the perpetrators to justice.
