HC Deb 14 February 1946 vol 419 cc525-6
53. Mr. Pritt

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (1) whether he is aware that of some 70 schoolteachers in Duderstadt, who were shown by the Nazi party files to be Nazis and were accordingly recommended for removal, only two have so far been removed; that one of these two was replaced by a Nazi in the automatic arrest category; and whether he will clear up this situation before all the schoolchildren are made into Nazis;

(2) whether he is aware that within a week of the Duderstadt Town Council having been permitted to elect as mayor a social democrat of good standing and record the Military Government dismissed him and put in his place a Nazi factory owner who had made all his workmen join the Nazi party; and whether he will at once remove this Nazi and thus cure the unrest caused by this incident.

Mr. J. Hynd

Reports on the incidents referred to are being obtained from Germany and as soon as they are received I will communicate with the hon. and learned Member.
