HC Deb 01 August 1944 vol 402 c1204W
Mr. Granville

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has received the reply of the German Government on the shooting of R.A.F. prisoners of war; and if he can now make a statement on this.

Mr. George Hall

The reply of the German Government has not yet reached me. It has, however, been received by His Majesty's Minister in Berne, who has reported that the reply is identical with the German news agency's statement on 22nd July. This statement appeared in the Press on 24th July and is in effect a refusal to give further information.
