§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Prime Minister, pursuant to the reply of 6 May to the hon. and learned Member for Leicester, West, (Mr. Janner) Official Report, column 3, why Her Majesty's Government are unwilling to seek from the United Nations copies of all documents in their possession relating to Dr. Kurt Waldheim's wartime activities; and if she will make a statement.
§ The Prime MinisterThe Government have not hitherto requested access to United Nations files on Dr.512W Waldheim because there appeared to be no direct British interest in the allegations made against him. However, in view of recent new allegations about the disappearance of British subjects in the Balkans during the second world war, the Ministry of Defence is searching military records to see whether they contain any information relevant in this context.
