§ 54. Mr. Austinasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster the number of trainees at the B.A.O.R. police training centre who, during or after training, have been rejected for the service as being unsuitable owing to their adherence to Nazi doctrine; and what proportion of successful trainees does this represent.
§ Mr. J. HyndI assume that my hon. Friend is referring to the police training school at Hiltrup where selected German police officers are trained as police instructors. I am informed that not a single trainee at that school has been rejected because of adherence to the Nazi doctrine.
§ Mr. AustinWhile thanking my hon. Friend for his reply, may I ask him if he is aware that the school I have in mind is one I visited at Munster, and would he please give me information with regard to the ranks, and not officers?
§ Mr. HyndThe information asked for in the Question did not make it clear whether any particular school was referred to. It was assumed that it was the school at Hiltrup, which is a school for the training of instructors, mainly of officer status, and the information has been supplied on that basis, but if my hon. Friend has any other school in mind, perhaps he would put a Question down.
