HC Deb 22 May 1946 vol 423 cc326-7
46. Captain F. Noel-Baker

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster under what conditions the Metropolitan Anastasy, formerly an active Nazi collaborator, was permitted to enter the British zone of occupied Europe.

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

So far as I am aware, he has never entered the British zone of Germany or Austria.

Captain Noel-Baker

Is my hon. Friend aware that it has been publicly stated that this person did enjoy the support of the British Government? Can he make it clear that that is not the case?

Mr. Hynd

I have not seen the publication, but I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that he has not had the support of His Majesty's Government.

Wing-Commander Hulbert

Could the hon. Gentleman say what functions his gentleman performs? Who is he?

Mr. Hynd

I presume the hon. and gallant Gentleman is asking for his name?

Wing-Commander Hulbert

No, I am asking what he does.

Mr. Hynd

I am not aware of that.
