HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 c760
17. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Länder in the British zone of Germany are required to obey instructions issued by the Bizonal Economic Council in Frankfort; and why the acting Regional Commissioner of Niedersächsen has not ordered the Prime Minister of Niedersächsen to make deliveries of potatoes to other Länder as ordered by the Bizonal Economic Council.

Mr. McNeil

The answer to the first part of the Question is, "Yes." I am advised that the Minister President and his administration are now making strenuous efforts to fulfil their obligations.
