HC Deb 19 April 1944 vol 399 c190
36. Mr. Petherick

asked the Minister of Information in what capacity Dr. Schacht is employed by his Department.

Mr. Bracken

Dr. Schacht, who is an Orientalist of world repute, is employed on a fee basis to check the texts and proofs of certain of the Ministry's publications in Arabic and Persian.

Mr. Petherick

Is he still a German subject?

Mr. Bracken

Yes, Sir, he is still a German subject, but he is no relation to that slippery doctor who looted the City during the last seven or eight years.
