§ Mr. John MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to his answer of 18 January,Official Report, column 458, what requests were received from the German authorities for co-operation in their investigation into Major General Mohnke's involvement in the murder of more than 80 British service men; and what was the response.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryIn 1988 we offered the German authorities full co-operation in this matter, including access to the British records. The offer was accepted. The German authorities' subsequent requests to visit the United Kingdom to interview survivors and others with relevant information and to have statements taken from them were granted. Full facilities were given by the relevant British authorities while the German prosecutor was in this country.
