HC Deb 06 June 1951 vol 488 cc989-90
13. Mr. Touche

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many of the illegal Reichsfront Army of Major General Remer are members of the British trained German Service Organisation.

Mr. H. Morrison

I cannot provide the hon. Member with any figures on this subject. I can assure him, however, that if any members of the German Service Organisation should be found to be members of the illegal Reichsfront Army they will be instantly dismissed. I may add that a security watch is normally kept for manifestations of political extremism in any direction among members of this body and that, in view of recent evidence of renewed extremism of the right in Lower Saxony. I am asking my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War to ensure that measures of precaution are intensified.
