§ Mr. Jacques ArnoldTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he plans to release more records of the wartime Special Operations Executive. [27753]
§ Mr. HurdI said on 26 November 1993 that a review of the SOE archives had begun. Since then, as I have said in later answers in 1993 and 1994, the records on the far east, Scandinavia, the middle east and north Africa have been made available to the public. The next batch, on eastern Europe, will be opened by the Public Record Office on 9 June 1995. Further SOE records will be made available in due course.
