HC Deb 12 July 1990 vol 176 c335W
Mr. Rooker

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on facilities provided by his Department for the West German prosecuting authorities to study the closed British file on the Wormhoudt massacre; and if he has yet been informed what use is to be made of the information.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

As the hon. Member is aware, the public prosecutor from Lubeck has visited this country and examined all the relevant material in our records: I have not heard what use he may wish to make of information gained from them.
