HC Deb 03 April 1947 vol 435 cc371-2W
Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many S.P.D. members, so far elected by popular vote in the British zone, have not in fact taken their places; and haw many Christian Democrats have been similarly treated.

Mr. J. Hynd

One S.P.D. and one C.D.U. representative elected to the Gemeinde and Kreis Councils were found to be ineligible and have not taken their places. Two S.P.D. members and one C.D.U. have not taken their places for private reasons. I am not aware of any other cases.
