HC Deb 25 July 1969 vol 787 c520W
Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make representations to the Greek régime about Ilias Iliou, Maria Karageorgi and Stavros Iliopoulos who are elderly and sick Greek Members of Parliament whose continued ill-treatment in detention is endangering their health.

Mr. Whitlock

The Greek Government are already well aware of our concern about the conditions of prisoners held without charge. But representations, even on humanitarian grounds, by foreign Governments to the Greek Government on behalf of particular Greek prisoners might well damage rather than improve the prospects of these prisoners.
