Bishop Richard Williamson declined to answer questions from reporters at London's Heathrow airport.

Williamson, an ultra-traditionalist who headed a seminary near Buenos Aires until earlier this month, has said he believes that no more than 300,000 Jews died in Germany's Nazi concentration camps, rather than the 6 million figure that is widely accepted.
