HC Deb 21 April 1948 vol 449 cc1790-1
13. Mr. Blackburn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether impediments to the passage of British troops and mail to Vienna still exist; and what action has been taken to bring them to an end.

Mr. Bevin

As a result of representations by the British High Commissioner in Austria, no such impediments now exist.

Mr. Blackburn

Is my right hon. Friend aware that the conduct of this matter by General Winterton, under his direction, and by General Winterton's colleagues, has been remarkably successful?
