§ Mr. BradshawWe, along with the Greek Government, are firmly committed to bringing those responsible for Brigadier Saunders' assassination to justice.
We co-operate fully with the Greek authorities. There are regular visits to and from Greece at ministerial and official level. I cannot disclose the operational details. The 259W Metropolitan police and the Greek police in Athens continue to work well together on the investigation. Their objective is to ensure that there is a thorough and complete investigation leading to a successful prosecution.
