HC Deb 25 February 1948 vol 447 cc1925-6
11. Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many hotels are now being run by "T" Force; what is the number of British and foreign staff engaged; and what other useful functions "T" Force now carries out.

Mr. Bevin

"T" Force run 23 hotels for business visitors to the British zone of Germany and British Sector of Berlin for which purpose they employ 53 British and 1,031 German staff. Their duties include providing transport for these visitors. At present they are also responsible for the movement of reparations to the United Kingdom under the unilateral scheme.

Mr. Stokes

In order to save further questions, can my right hon. Friend tell me whether it is the intention to wind up this activity this year?

Mr. Bevin

I cannot answer that offhand. I am looking into the whole thing afresh.
