HC Deb 14 March 1949 vol 462 cc1704-5
7. Sir P. Hannon

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he contemplates the association of the British Council with the British Relations Board in the development of cultural relations between Great Britain and Germany in the British zone.

Mr. McNeil

Arrangements are being made for the British Council to operate in Germany, and the intention is that they shall be closely associated with the British Relations Board in the development of cultural relations.

Sir P. Hannon

May I ask the Minister whether, in view of the great success attending the work of the British Council in various parts of the world, the fullest use of it will be made in co-operation with the British authorities in the Western zone of Germany?

Mr. McNeil

I should like to assure the hon. Member that his pertinacity on this subject will not be lost.
