Miss Wardasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can make any statement on the death of Major Terence Atherton, formerly Balkans correspondent of the "Daily Mail," who was killed in Yugoslavia by the Partisans.
§ Mr. A. HendersonThis officer met his death about three years ago after he had entered Yugoslavia to make contact with General Mihailovic. The circumstances in which he died are by no means clear, but there is no evidence to support my hon. Friend's suggestion that he was killed by the Partisans. Indeed, he may have been killed by the Germans.
