HC Deb 19 February 1946 vol 419 c959
52. Mr. Zilliacus

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, in view of His Majesty's Government's assurances to U.N.O. that D.P. camps under British control would not be allowed to indulge in anti-Soviet activities, whether he will take action in the case of the Latvian ex-Colonel Yakutas, recognised by the British military authorities as the chief representative of D.P.s at Haus Zieblick, Ratzeburg, Kreis Lauenburg, who boasts of his medals received from Hitler, Prince Starhemberg and Franco, for gallantry in anti-Bolshevik action and urges on British officers the importance of Anglo-American support for German rearmament so as to win the coming war against the U.S.S.R.

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

I am having inquiries made, but owing to communication difficulties in Germany I regret that the information is not yet available. As soon as it is I will communicate with my hon. Friend.
