HC Deb 18 February 1946 vol 419 cc788-9
48. Commander Douglas Marshall

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what is the policy of the British Control Commission towards the growing problem of unemployed Nazis in the British zone and the danger of having these men unemployed and at large.

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Mr. John Hynd)

Nazis who are likely to prove dangerous if left at large are held in internment camps. Those not so held are required to register and are subject to direction into types of employment, mainly manual, where they are least likely to cause trouble. Long-term policy is based on the development under Allied control of anti-Nazi German police and other public services.
