HC Deb 24 May 1946 vol 423 c120W
Sir W. Smiles

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any British subjects are being held prisoners in Yugoslavia.

Mr. McNeil

Yes, Sir: Seven such cases are known to me. In two of them the persons concerned also possess Yugoslav nationality, and His Majesty's Government are therefore precluded from extending official protection to them in Yugoslavia. His Majesty's Embassy at Belgrade are, however, watching all the cases closely and are doing what they can to help.
