HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 c204W
98. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what reply he has returned to the Greek Government's request for a supply of British arms for the purpose of arming a Greek civilian guard.

Mr. Bevin

It was represented to me yesterday that there are constant attacks by bands on the people living in the villages in certain parts of Greece, and I have been asked whether we would supply light arms to equip a kind of home guard to enable the people to defend their homes and their families. I have not yet replied or made any commitment.
