Mr. Vaneasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will give an assurance that, when allocating fuel to public buildings in Germany, the claims of churches and church halls will be treated no less favourably than those of theatres and cinemas or other public halls.
§ Mr. J. HyndI can only reply for the British zone, where allocations of coal for 467W German civilian purposes are made by the German Executive Committee for Economics. My information is that the churches have received an allocation of coal whereas theatres and cinemas have not.
