HC Deb 20 June 1944 vol 401 c42W
Mr. R. Davies

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many of the soldiers sentenced to death and executed by the American military authorities in this country, in each category, were coloured and white, respectively,

Mr. H. Morrison

I am assured and am satisfied that in this matter there is no discrimination on grounds of race or colour. In my view no public interest would be served by publishing the information asked for by my hon. Friend, especially as the whole matter is entirely within the competence of the United States authorities; and accordingly I am not prepared to approach the United States authorities on this question.
