HC Deb 25 November 1957 vol 578 c86W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on what date he requested the Bonn Government to give information concerning allegations that they were, contrary to the Potsdam Agreement, employing about 200 persons as judges and public prosecutors who were personally concerned as judges in the infliction of death and other heavy sentences under the Nazi régime; on what date the Bonn Government replied to his inquiry; and whether they have intimated when they expect to conclude their investigations.

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

This matter was raised on 5th July with the Federal German authorities who at once replied that an investigation into these allegations had already been initiated. There is, as yet, no indication as to when the investigation will be concluded.
