§ 13. Mr. Stokesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the forms required for categorisation, though promised for delivery in Germany in November last year have not yet arrived; that in consequence categorisation is held up; and what steps does he propose to take to get this matter put right.
§ Mr. BevinThere is no shortage of these forms in the British zone and I am not aware that categorisation is held up for the reasons stated by my hon. Friend. The categorisation of militarists is temporarily held up as our policy towards these persons is now under review.
§ Mr. StokesI was referring to military categorisation or ex-military categorisation. Is my right hon. Friend aware that there is a shortage of these forms and that categorisation of these people has been held up since last November?
§ Mr. StokesWhile it may very well be that there are too many forms about, this form at any rate is in short supply.
§ Mr. John PatonMay I ask my right hon. Friend in what respect "categorization" differs from "classification"? Would it not be better to discontinue the use of such horrible jargon?
