§ 9. Mr. Shinwellasked the Lord Privy Seal if he will state the name of the representative appointed by Her Majesty's Government to the Mixed Experts Committee responsible for the disposal of Krupp's holdings.
§ Mr. HeathThe British member of the Committee has been Sir Edward Jackson, a distinguished judge and former colonial servant.
§ Mr. ShinwellWill the right hon. Gentleman instruct this distinguished judge to work along the lines suggested by the late Mr. Ernest Bevin who, when Foreign Secretary, said, with reference to this matter, that he had no desire to see these gentlemen or their like return to a position which they had abused with such tragic results, and that the intention was to socialise the industries? Why cannot the Government carry out that policy?
§ Mr. HeathThe Mixed Committee of Experts is an independent Committee, and therefore Her Majesty's Government cannot give any instructions.
