HC Deb 24 January 1949 vol 460 c553
74. Mr. Austin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are His Majesty's Government's proposals for dealing with the revival of Nazi youth and other organisations; and whether he will make inquiries as to the steps being taken in the U.S. zone to deal with this danger.

Mr. Mayhew

No Nazi organisations whatever are permitted to exist in the British zone of Germany. If my hon. Friend has evidence that any youth or other organisations in Germany are harbouring Nazi elements, my right hon. Friend will be glad to examine it. As regards the second part of the Question, while His Majesty's Government have no responsibility for measures taken by the United States authorities in their zone, I have no doubt that the United States Government share His Majesty's Government's attitude to this question.
