§ 48. Mr. Cocksasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware of the concern caused by the fact that responsible positions in the police force of Hanover are occupied by well-known Nazis; and what action he intends to take in the matter.
§ Mr. R. J. TaylorA special investigation of the Hanover police' is now in process. The chief of police has been arrested, the chief of the personnel department dismissed and the remaining officials are being scrutinised.
§ Mr. JannerWill the hon. Member see that very careful inquiry is made into the antecedents of all members of the police force in Germany, particularly in view of the very serious effect any wrong step in an appointment would have on the population there?
