HC Deb 18 February 1946 vol 419 c185W
Major Wilkes

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether large landowners within the British zone in Germany who were active Nazis are allowed to retain their land or whether some provision exists for the confiscation of such land.

Mr. J. Hynd

As stated in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Peterborough (Mr. Tiffany) on 12th February, the elimination of Nazi and military influences is being pursued in agriculture as in other industries. Active Nazis, whether landowners or not, are liable to arrest and imprisonment and dispossession of their property.
