§ 58 and 59. Mr. Pickthornasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1) what His Majesty's Government are doing to support the efforts of the International Red Cross to restore the kidnapped Greek children to their homes;
(2) whether the United Nations Committee have been officially informed of Marshal Tito's assurance that Yugoslavia will return all the Greek children whose parents in Greece claim them; and what steps have been taken by the Secretary-General, or other appropriate body, to congratulate the International Red Cross on having gained so much success.
§ Mr. Ernest DaviesThe statement to which I assume the hon. Member refers has not been officially communicated to the United Nations Special Committee on the Balkans. However, although it has been for several months the declared policy of the Yugoslav Government to return all Greek children to their parents in accordance with the resolution of the United Nations Assembly, not a single child has yet been returned to Greece. We are, of course, all grateful to the International Red Cross but the time for292W congratulations will not have come until the Governments concerned have returned the children to their parents.
