HC Deb 23 October 1967 vol 751 cc365-6W
70. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will publish the report of the judicial inquiry into the Crater incident in Aden last summer; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

In the report, the Chief Justice has recommended, and the High Commissioner has accepted, that every effort should be made to bring the ringleader to justice. He recognised however that in the circumstances that now prevail in. Aden, this might prove impossible.
