§ Mr. Dunnasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what further action he will take to ensure an early hearing of the plea for clemency of a British subject, Mrs. Zena Falazdad Milbourne, at present imprisoned in Greece.
§ Mr. William RodgersConsideration of Mrs. Milbourne's petition was deferred by the dissolution of the Clemency Committee, in common with all other Greek governmental committees, on the assumption of power by the present Greek Government. The Committee in question was reconstituted towards the end of last week and is now resuming its functions. Her Majesty's Consul-General is today calling on the Chairman of the Committee with the intention of ensuring that Mrs. Milbourne's petition is accorded priority treatment. I am hopeful therefore that we may have a decision on the petition within the next few days.
