HC Deb 10 November 1972 vol 845 c286W
Mr. Neave

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) if he will raise the question of the detention of Rudolf Hess at Spandau prison during the current Four Power talks in Berlin and indicate what steps are being taken to secure his release;

(2) if he will raise the question of the future of Spandau Prison during the current Four-Power talks in Berlin.

Mr. Amery

The Four Power talks in Berlin which were concluded on 5th November were concerned with the negotiation of a Quadripartite Declaration affirming that Four Power rights and responsibilities would be unaffected by Federal German and East German entry into the United Nations. There was no discussion of the case of Rudolf Hess or Spandau. But the Soviet Government are, of course, in no doubt about the views of Her Majesty's Government on these matters.
