HC Deb 24 March 1947 vol 435 c127W
1. Mr. Piratin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what response he has had from the Greek Government to the representations made by His Majesty's Government in connection with the mass arrests of Left wing supporters in Greece.

Mr. McNeil

Following His Majesty's Ambassador's representations to the Greek Government, regular magistrates were immediately sent to the place of exile to review the charges against the arrested persons. They were ordered to complete their investigations as soon as possible. An appeal court judge has also been appointed to supervise the work.
