HC Deb 19 December 1947 vol 445 c434W
Mr. Platts-Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will instruct the British members of the United Nations Balkan Commission to inquire into the circumstances of, and report on, the death sentences imposed by the Salonkia Military Tribunal on twenty-nine alleged Communists, of whom five are women.

Mr. Mayhew

No. The terms of reference of the United Nations Special Committee, to which my hon. Friend refers, do not entitle the Committee to intervene in the administration of justice in Greece.
