HC Deb 26 March 1947 vol 435 cc1225-6
26. Mr. D. Marshall

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what is the limitation of sport in Germany agreed by the quadrupartite Powers.

Mr. J. Hynd

The agreement of 17th December, 1945, provides that all sports organisations which existed before the defeat of Germany should be dissolved, that sports organisations should be restricted to Kreis level, except with the permission of zone commanders, and that sport should be supervised to ensure that while it serves the needs of health, hygiene and recreation, it is free from all military or para-military activities.
