HC Deb 24 October 1944 vol 404 c13
13. Sir Stanley Reed

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will arrange to place on sale the folders, booklets and maps, captured from the Germans in Brussels, as souvenirs of the war, the proceeds to be given to the Red Cross.

20. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Assheton Pownall

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will arrange for specimens of the German maps and guide books, intended for the invasion of England, recently found in Brussels, to be on view in the Library.

Sir J. Grigg

None of this material has yet been brought to this country and no decision has been taken as to its disposal.

Sir S. Reed

Does not my right hon. Friend see that, apart from their souvenir value, these booklets are a great warning to the public of the dangers they have gone through, and the dangers which may recur?

Sir J. Grigg

I would like to look at them first.

Sir A. Pownall

Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind the suggestion in my Question when he has these documents?

Sir J. Grigg

I will certainly bear it in mind, but I would like to see the documents first.
