asked the Secretary of Stare for Foreign Affairs what progress has been made under Allied High Commission Law No. 27 relating to the de-concentration of the West German iron and steel industry, with particular reference to the remaining Krupp interests.

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

All the required deconcentra Lions have been carried out except a small portion relating to the former firmVereinigte Stahlwerke and a larger portion relating to the firm of Krupp. As regards the latter a Mixed Committee is being set up under the provisions of the Bonn Settlement Convention to consider applications for extension of time in which to carry out the remaining sales.
