HC Deb 19 April 1948 vol 449 cc1433-4
60. Sir William Darling

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that members of the Control Commission in Germany have not received a monthly statement of salaries since October, 1947, and that such unsatisfactory financial arrangements are causing general embarrassment; and what action he proposes to take to relieve these persons of uncertainty and anxiety.

Mr. McNeil

Monthly statements of pay for every member of the Control Service have been issued promptly and regularly from London, and, while there have been difficulties in distribution in Germany, I have no reason to think that any substantial numbers have not been delivered. The arrangements in Germany have recently been improved and should now ensure prompt delivery in all cases.
