HC Deb 25 May 1960 vol 624 cc48-9W
68. Mr. Swingler

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on how many occasions in the last two years he has made representations to the German Government about the appointment of former Nazis as judges and prosecutors; what replies he has received; and in how many cases action has been reported.

Mr. R. Allan

My right hon. and learned Friend has made no such representations, as judicial appointments in the Federal Republic are, and have been since 1949, entirely the responsibility of the German authorities.
