HC Deb 30 April 1990 vol 171 c395W
Mr. Amos

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will initiate an investigation into the possibility of Japanese war criminals who should face criminal proceedings living in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Patten

Any allegations that alleged Japanese war criminals may now be resident in the United Kingdom would of course be seriously considered. We are not aware that any such allegations have been made, however, and therefore see no reason to initiate any investigation.
