HC Deb 08 December 1969 vol 793 c4W
45. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will take steps at the United Nations to initiate an independent inquiry into all matters connected with the alleged Pinkville massacres, in view of the threat to world peace.

Mr. M. Stewart

No. The United States Government are making exhaustive investigations into these allegations, which they have said are abhorrent to the conscience of the American people. A trial has already been announced. In these circumstances I see no need for the action suggested by my hon. Friend.
