HC Deb 05 May 1948 vol 450 c138W
81. Mr. Elwyn Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the present position of the case of the millionaire Cologne banker, Kurt von Schroeder, organiser of the Himmler Circle of Friends.

Mr. Bevin

As a result of the appeals lodged against the sentence imposed by the Court of First Instance, to which reference was made in the answer given to my hon. Friend on 8th December, 1947, a re-trial has been ordered. The case will probably be heard within the next few weeks. Meanwhile, von Schroeder is still interned.
