Nazi War Crimes
- Question
-
What assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the War Crimes Act 1991 at increasing the number of police investigations of suspected Nazi war criminals living in the UK.
- Answer
-
In 1988 the Conservative Government set up the Hetherington inquiry, which led to the War Crimes Act 1991. This meant that for the first time, Nazi war criminals living in the UK could be prosecuted for war crimes.
Counter Terrorism Policing do not have any current investigations relating to grave violations of the laws and customs of war committed on German-held territory during the Second World War.
