§ 52. Mr. Mott-Radclyffeasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he now has any further statement to make regarding the whereabouts of Captain Vyvian Holt, formerly His Majesty' s Minister in Seoul, and the Bishop of Korea, and the treatment accorded to them by the North Koreans.
§ Mr. Ernest DaviesThere has been no further news of Mr. Holt since the telegram received on 21st July, which was referred to in the answer given to the Question of the hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland (Mr. Grimond) on 27th July, 203W In the absence of any news there is no reason to suppose that he is not still in "the place of safety near Pyongyang" referred to in that telegram, or that he is not being well treated. We believe that Bishop Cooper has continued to be detained in Seoul, and have no reason to suppose that he or any other detained British subject has been ill-treated.
