§ 21. Sir W. Smithersasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what disciplinary action has now been taken as a result of the publication of poster, Z.E.C.O./20006/1/Org.1, in the British zone of Germany.
§ Mr. MayhewThis poster merely calls attention to previous routine orders forbidding barter with Germans and it is, therefore, not possible to attribute to it the taking of any specific disciplinary action.
§ Sir W. SmithersIn view of the fact that the mere issue of this poster must have been based on a very serious incident, will the hon. Gentleman state what steps he is taking to clean up the scandals, or alleged scandals, in the Control Commission?
§ Mr. MayhewThe hon. Member persists in these general allegations against the British Control Commission, and never produces any particular instances.
§ Sir W. SmithersOn a point of Order. May I state that details of this particular incident are on the way to the Minister?
§ Mr. SpeakerThat is not a point of Order.
