Mr. Bevan: This is of the utmost importance. The Right Hon. 
      Gentleman may have heard that statement are being made to the 
      effect that the Government are already weeding out from the administration 
      in Athens any of those persons who recently sympathized with 
      EAM. I do not say it is true because I do not know what the Right 
      Hon. Gentleman knows. Would he make it quite certain that British 
      arms will not be used to sustain a government, which does not 
      honor in full the law, and the pledge he has now given to the 
                              House?                        
 
                                                            
 
 
The Prime Minister: I think that there is a great difference 
      between putting people to death for the crime of rebellion or 
      bringing them to penal processes and making sure that your government 
      departments are not full of people who are working for the other 
      side. I am dealing with the whole question of amnesty which relates 
      to the penal processes of law such as imprisonment or sentences 
      of death and an amnesty certainly does not mean that persons 
      who are not trusted by the government of the day will immediately 
      be made Cabinet Ministers or that employees that were found to 
      have left their posts in the crisis and taken part in the fighting 
      on the opposite side to the government of the day should be reinstated
