HC Deb 22 June 1943 vol 390 c1036W
Mr. E. P. Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will consider issuing a statement that certificates of good behaviour demanded by individual Germans from inhabitants of the occupied territories for use against the day of reckoning will be regarded as valueless by the United Nations after victory?

Mr. Law

So far as His Majesty's Government are concerned, such certificates can have no validity in themselves and their existence will not prevent each case being dealt with on its merits.
