HC Deb 12 November 1945 vol 415 c1734
26. Mr. Nutting

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any statement to make regarding the decision of Britain, the U.S.A. and Russia to establish a central German administration in Berlin.

Mr. Noel-Baker

As the hon. Member is aware, it was agreed by the British, United States and Soviet Governments at Potsdam that certain essential central German administrative departments should be set up. Discussions are still going on as to how this decision can best be carried out. The French Government, who had no representative at Potsdam, have expressed some misgivings about the plan, but I hope that an agreement may be reached without undue delay.

Vice-Admiral Taylor

Will the right hon. Gentleman take steps to ensure collaboration between the Powers, which is so absent at the present time?
