asked the Prime Minister whether he will publish as a white paper the full decisions arrived at both at Teheran and Yalta with regard to the readjustment of territory in Europe, the treatment of enemy peoples, the reparations to be made by enemy countries and the zones of influence allocated to each of the Great Powers, as also any decisions with regard to the use of slave labour for reparations purposes.
A document issued by the Government laying out its policy, or proposed policy, on a topic of current concern.Although a white paper may occasion consultation as to the details of new legislation, it does signify a clear intention on the part of a government to pass new law. This is a contrast with green papers, which are issued less frequently, are more open-ended and may merely propose a strategy to be implemented in the details of other legislation.
